This paper must follow the basic format of the five paragraph persuasive/critical essay. While you do not necessarily need to have exactly five paragraphs, it must follow this general format (see BlazeVIEW writing resources for guidance).

Specific Topics (choose one)

1. The Organization of Society

In the excerpt from The Division of Labor in Society in the textbook, you read a part of Emile Durkheim’s theory of how economic specialization has reorganized society as a whole in a fundamental way. Hence to understand society, we must look at how it is organized economically. Discuss the aspects of Durkheim’s theory and apply them to a social phenomenon. 

In your essay please clarify the difference between organic and mechanical solidarity, and consider the impacts (positive and negative) of both on? How does a modern society characterized mostly by organic solidarity impact your social phenomenon?

You will need to:

Cite The Rules of the Sociological Method (no other sources for Durkheim), and two reputable sources for your social phenomenon. 

Include in-text citations, for example:

The authors found that SES is a fundamental cause of health disparities (Phelan et al. 2010).

Include a works cited section at the end of the paper (note that this does NOT count toward the page count), for example:

Phelan, Jo C., Bruce G. Link, and Parisa Tehranifar. “Social conditions as fundamental causes of health inequalities: theory, evidence, and policy implications.” Journal of health and social behavior 51, no. 1 (2010): S28-S40.

Any format will do (Chicago, MLA, etc. – just be consistent).
