Individual and Society... Durkheim and 'SUICIDE' To Durkheim, men were creatures whose desires were unlimited. Unlike other animals, they arenot satiated when their biological needs are fulfilled. "The more one has, the more one wants, since satisfactions received only stimulateinstead of filling needs." It follows from this natural insatiability of the human animal that his desires can only be held in check by external controls, that is, by societal control. Society imposes limits on human desires and constitutes "a regulative force [which] must playthe same role for moral needs which the organism plays for physicalneeds." In well-regulated societies, social controls set limits onindividual propensities so that "each in his sphere vaguely realizes the extreme limits on individual propensities so that "each in his sphere vaguely realizes the extreme limits set to his ambitions and aspires to nothing beyond. . . . Thus, an end or a goal [is] set to the passions." When social regulations break down, the controlling influence of society on individual propensities is no longer effective and individuals are left to their own devices. Such a state of affairsDurkheim calls

44. Durkheim - The Work - Sociology Of Religion of all moral community into a state of universal breakdown and anomie?Such questions intensified Durkheim s concern with the sociology of religion, http://www2.pfeiffer.edu/~lridener/DSS/Durkheim/DURKW3.HTML

The Sociology of Religion Durkheim's earlier concern with social regulation was in the main focused on the more external forces of control, more particularly legal regulations that can be studied, so he argued, in the law books and without regard to individuals. Later he was led to consider forces of control that were internalized in individual consciousness. Being convinced that "society has to be present within the individual," Durkheim, following the logic of his own theory, was led to the study of religion, one of the forces that created within individuals a sense of moral obligation to adhere to society's demands. Durkheim had yet another motive for studying the functions of religionnamely, concern with mechanisms that might serve to shore up a threatened social order. In this respect he was in quest of what would today be described as functional equivalents for religion in a fundamentally a-religious age. par excellence , inspiring communal devotion to ethical ends that transcended individual purposes. But if the reign of traditional religious orientations had now ended, what would take their place? Would the end of traditional religion be a prelude to the dissolution of all moral community into a state of universal breakdown and anomie? Such questions intensified Durkheim's concern with the sociology of religion, adding to the intrinsic interest he had in terms of the internal logic of his system. Basic to his theory is the stress on religious phenomena as communal rather than individual. "A religion is a unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things, that is to say, things set apart and forbiddenbeliefs and practices which unite in one single moral community called a Church, all those who adhere to them."

Sociology 1120 Instructor: Mac Nelson Office: B010i This course will act as introduction to the study of sociology. The main focus of its investigation will be directed at establishing how sociologists explain human behaviour, the kinds of terms sociologists use, and the peculiarity of the sociological perspective relative to other human sciences. Students will be encouraged to critically examine their own everyday behaviour in order to discover the basic interaction patterns of our culture. To assist in this process, Schaefer's Introduction to Sociology , will be used to introduce central sociological concepts, as well as extracts from William Kephart's book, Extra-Ordinary Groups , which will help to highlight the relativity of our culture and the ambiguity of such terms as "normal" and "abnormal" human conduct. Towards the end of the semester we shall survey the development of sociology and discuss some of the contemporary issues in sociology today. Course material will be organized around a series of weekly topics that will include the following: The Sociological Perspective Sociology and other social sciences The historical development of sociology Sociological Concepts Notions of human natureinstincts versus socialization Theories of socialization: Cooley, Mead and the symbolic interactionists

Introduction I: How do you keep up with your field? R:. . . [T]he field that I work in, and since I have been in it for so long and since I have trained a lot of the people in it, I know practically everybody in the world who is working in it. I am also on the editorial board of a number of journals, so in a lot of cases I see things before they are even in print. In my case I probably make very good usage of both of those things. I am in correspondence with a lot of people and they tell me what they are doing, just because I know them... and I go to meetings, to quite a few. This is where I meet my colleagues and we talk. I probably am almost never in the situation where I am having to do a search in an area where I don't know anything about the field. I may never. (Engineering professor of 40 years)

Registered users should log in to view the full essay >Many sociologists believe that the disadvantaged groups such as the underprivileged and lower working class have a little chance of achieving societies goals by acceptable means as they have been at a disadvantage in education and end up in a low paid employment. This in turn places a strain on the individual who wants to achieve their goals but lack the chances of doing so by conventional means. They may respond by breaking the rules for example turning to crime or other deviant behaviour. Laurie Taylor criticised Merton for not elaborating further on his analysis and failing to consider who makes and benefits more from the laws of society. Taylor compared the social structure, which has been rigged by those in power with the rules that guarantee their success. All formatting has been removed from the sample of this essay. Inside

Sociology 3011 HISTORY OF SOCIOLOGICAL THOUGHT I Fall, 1995 Professor: Martha E. Gimenez Office: Ketchum 205A Office Hours: Tuesday 10:00 - 12:00 and by appointment. Telephone: 492-7080 E-Mail address: Gimenez@csf.colorado.edu Course Description This is a course on classical sociological theory. The development of capitalist industrialization in the West brought deep changes in public and private life. Sociological theory emerged at a time of social change and crisis after the American and French Revolutions. Scholars attempted to make sense of these changes, but their theories cannot be understood simply as expressions of individual creativity but as the attempt by society, operating through its intelligentsia, to understand itself. The work of the leading theorists of the 19th century, Marx, Durkheim, and Weber, shaped the development of theory in the 20th century. They identified problems within the emerging social order which are still with us; e.g., alienation, exploitation, bureaucratization, anomie, etc. They also identified the main structures, institutions and processes characteristic of modern societies. Other important theorists focused their attention on the ways modern society affected the development of the self and its characteristics, and about the place of women and racial minorities in modern society. We shall also read excerpts by Simmel, Cooley, W.E. B. Du Bois, Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Anna Julia Cooper. These theorists insights are still relevant for understanding the social world in which we live. This course is intended to familiarize students with those insights, thus enabling them to develop a deeper understanding of society and to acquire a good preparation for more advanced theory courses. By the end of the semester, students will be able to use key elements of classical sociological theory to broaden their understanding of current social issues. Students planning to go on to graduate studies in the social sciences will have aquired basic skills to further their study of classical sociological theory. All students will benefit from their sharpened comprehension of the main social, economic, political and cultural processes affecting their sense of self and their opportunities as citizens and workers.

Rob¨ne Hooliganism: on social anomie and determinism (March 2004) Abstract The violence exhibited by crowds of sports fans around stadiums and sometimes even far from them, commonly known as hooliganism, is mostly committed by young people. Contrary to beliefs, this violent behavior does not correspond to the logic of social determinism. Its source is to be found in the “period of psychosocial latency”: these young hooligans have not yet assimilated the roles and status of self-controlled adults, nor have they donned them, and their behavior partakes of the logic of inter-group competition and the construction of identity. One of the main factors in the development of this juvenile violence is the context of social anomie in which these supporters act. Table des mati¨res The origins of hooliganism Football, anomie and hooliganism Anomie and deviance Young football fans are denied recognition ... Anomie partakes of the complexity of hooliganism Texte int©gral T o speak of hooliganism in France is apparently quite a challenge in itself, for the question has been denied recognition, eluded and avoided to the point where the French football scene would seem to be the only one in Europe to be spared by a phenomenon that affects the sport throughout Europe. To look at French hooliganism one must often go beyond the social representations, prejudices and value judgments prevailing on the subject. In people’s imagination, hooligans are : English, young, poor or socially poorly integrated, delinquents in everyday life, “foreign” to the world of football and only go to the stadium to misbehave, constantly drunk, militantly, ideologically on the extreme right or belonging to small neo-nazi groups (Bodin, 2000, 2002, 2003). An archetypal portrait thus comes out, naturalizing and sociologizing the violence of crowds of sports fans, and turning hooligans into the “

Dimensions of social stratification and anomie as factors of religious affiliation in El Salvador. Sociology of Religion; March 22, 2003; Soltero, Jose Saravia, Romeo Soltero, Jose Saravia, Romeo Sociology of Religion March 22, 2003 Among Latin American countries, El Salvador is, along with Guatemala, Chile, and Brazil, one of the countries with the highest percentage of Protestants between 15 and 20 percent of the country's population (Green 1997; Williams 1997). Protestant affiliation increased very significantly during the 1970s and 1980s, a time during which El Salvador experienced a bloody civil war (Williams 1997). Scholars of religion in Latin America have perceived Protestant affiliation as the product of the social disorganization resulting from the civil war and the increase of capitalist modes of living. Related to social disorganization, a second factor acting in favor of Protestant proselytism has been the failure of the economy in Latin America to empower most of its population to leave the ranks of poverty and underemployment (Green 1997). In the case of El Salvador, Williams (1997) attributes the growth of Protestantism to the deep economic and political crisis, the cy

The Harper Collins Dictionary of Sociology , 1991: iii) When James Heap taught the introductory sociological theory course at OISE in 1982, the course outline opened with a tongue-in-cheek question for the new students in his class (among whom I was one): "We know how many psychiatrists it takes to change a light-bulb, but how many sociologists does it take to define sociological theory? At least two: one to define it and one to disagree." At the end of the preface to his book, Contested Knowledge: Social Theory in the Postmodern Era Outcomes At the end of the course you may be able to change a sociological light-bulb: to know at least some of the main similarities and differences between the sociologies of Marx, Weber and Durkheim, and to discern some of the conceptual premises and methodological assumptions in various sociological texts. You may also be able to assess various theorists for their contributions to "the ongoing conversation and conflict over the present and future shape of the social world," as Seidman suggests, and to determine whether, why or how their work could be of use to you in your sociological questions. Or/and, you may remain or become suspicious about the kinds of claims that sociologists often make, be they supported by ‘objective’ methods and scientific authority, ‘grounded’ in ‘the everyday,’ or shaped by the authors’ moral or political commitments to order, cohesion, progress, empowerment or resistance.

He was also the founder of the first journal devoted to social science , the Année Sociologique , which is also the named used to refer to the group of students who developed his sociological program. Biography Durkheim was born in Epinal, France , which is in Alsace-Lorraine . He came from a long line of devout French Jews both his father and grandfather had been Rabbis . Durkheim himself lived a completely secular life. Much of his work, in fact, was dedicated to demonstrating that religious phenomenon stemmed from social rather than divine factors. His Jewish background did, however, shape his sociology - many of his students and collaborators were fellow Jews, and often blood relatives. Henri Bergson would go on to become major figures in France's intellectual life. At the ENS Durkheim studied with
