Why Do You Trust a System You Can't See

In this video, we plunge into Émile Durkheim’s daring journey through The Division of Labor in Society. Inspired by the dizzying shifts of the Industrial Revolution, Durkheim questioned how humanity could find unity in a world where everyone seems to be running a different specialized race. From mechanical solidarity to the complexities of organic solidarity, we see how societies pivot from punishing deviation to orchestrating intricate collaborations. We uncover how laws evolve from sacred commands into elaborate tools for restoring balance. We also explore Durkheim’s abnormal forms: forced labor, anomie, and crises that erupt when specialization hits moral chaos. Whether you find hope or foreboding in this masterpiece, it’s a vivid reminder that every role matters. Tune in, challenge your assumptions, and see how your own special niche might hold society’s future in the balance.#Durkheim #Sociology #DivisionOfLabor #SocialEvolution #CollectiveConsciousness
