guess you could have saved a lot of time and money by just watching a youtube video then...

Same here, but also, it's good to throw in a jumbled mess of different readings with a concise explanation like this

@@graysaltine6035 : Perhaps, but KZfaq wasn't around when I was in college, plus in the real world, claiming to have knowledge isn't enough. You've got to have that piece of paper, like a diploma, or trade certification and licensing (which may be required by law depending on profession) that proves you know stuff.

@@spacelinx Claiming to have "knowledge" is flawed. If people made up everything, the language used to describe everything for example, surely everything is based on belief? I'm not disputing beliefs can be measurable and repeatable. However even what is called science is measured speculation. So just to get my mind around this a pre-modern solidarity is "mechanical" because the "collective consciousness" comes from all the environmental factors, mostly unmolested, the collective self sufficiently live in and modern solidarity is "organic" because people have no choice except to rely on others because the "system" doesn't believe self sufficiency is productive enough? Let me frame it another way. "Organic" is where the mechanisms of government enforce their will on all under the threat of violence, births are certified and registered, licensing and all manner of paperwork are required of proof of anything and everything and if you refuse to give "money" ( a debt based system of agreed value which by design can never be satisfied) to the government earnt for time spent your freedom will be taken away? Regardless of what you do or believe in?

@@graysaltine6035 " Knowing is not enough "

Yes, I enjoyed the video as well. I don't know that I could have said anything about Durkheim before this, but now I have a grasp of the basics, at least. What I don't get, however, is how we would say that his theory can't explain WWI (or other conflict). If crime serves a purpose by delineating the boundaries of behavior in society, then can't we see something similar in war? What I mean is that a nation is a society _is_ a collective of people _is_ an emergent "individual" in the "society" of the international community. Therefore, I would say that war is an outcome of a nation committing a crime against another, and the society of the international community responding to it.

Same as this guy. I really hope a lot of other people are like us, because this is amazing.

It's more than just two over-simplified versions, but the only real truth is The Bible's, regardless what one might think, it's the most objective truth and stand by this.

@@NiqashMuad Bruh what are you talking about? The Bible doesn't even agree with itself about what's true.

The "mechanical" solidarity looks more organic or akin to biological entities than that modern solidarity, the latter should be labelled as "transactional".

@@nosotrosloslobosestamosreg4115 I think you run on assumption that organic means unity. But if you look at nature, it's not a collective of the same trees and animals, it's a whole ecosystem with each living being fulfil their own role and their position in food chain. This is what our modern society is based on, we acknowledge that each person is not the same cog running the entire society machine, we are different individual pursue different roles in society. While nature looks static, it's an ever-changing landscape with steady evolution. Our modern society is similar but replace "evolution" with "technology".

​​@@NiqashMuadregardless one might think" 🙄 so annoying acting like this makes me wanna punch you biblical centric bozos

fleurgi Cheers

No problem! Will you be making anymore videos on other sociological theorists and concepts like those from Marx and Weber for example?

fleurgi Not any time soon, but maybe at some future point.

Alt Shift X Oh that's a shame. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It aided me in the writing of sociological theory memo. Hopefully you'll include Gramsci and Polanyi works. :)

Alt Shift X Please make both Karl Marx and Max Weber, my fave sociologists!

Thanks!

same here!

Alt Shift X You should do these more

Hello where are you from

Or modern society...

He did They lied

ikr? even his label is pretty bullshit. the 'father of sociology' is probably close to 100 years older than other thinkers who looked at society on a society wide scale and attempted to do so scientifically. the only way you could defend it would be if you could prove previous thinkers were doing bad science but it seems like durk here was just writing off of vibes, and got enshrined as a hero cause he glazed liberal society.

how so?

​@Daaako collective consciousness as a marker of identity (outside the smallest scale) is a phenomenon largely of modernity and medieval societies were nowhere near as homogeneous as the graphic implies. A society without interdependence has literally never existed.

Justin Madsen Yeah true I may have kinda mischaracterised Durkheim on crime

That is exactly true.

Bex Del How did it go?

Indeed!

migueche20 Thank you!

+Alt Shift X Yes Please! I'm a anthropology student and this makes my life so much easier! This is amazing. Morgan and Bastian would be the bomb!

I need your help I'm sociology student

And interdependence leads to loss of freedom and a need to rely on the global economy and others' jobs

All Germanic Europe still believed Thor

You must be a pretty hysterical couple then.

Theresa Wheeler Probably not any time soon, but maybe.

I was so disappointed with the dearth (zero) of Sociological perspectives on ASOIAF that I created my own blog, A Sociology of Ice and Fire. You were one of my inspirations.

Theresa Wheeler I now need to read this blog--regularly. I do the same thing with people in my life who just want to watch the show because Honor.

Still a maybe? 😛

MySisterIsAFoodie there is still only one entry for a sociology of ice and fire. Blame grad school. I graduated last month.
