Paper Summary:

This paper discusses Emile Durkheim and Vilfredo Pareto, two classical sociological theorists whose work still has an effect on today's modern culture. Durkheim's study of culture, religion, and suicide is still meaningful in today's world, while Pareto's theory of income distribution laid the groundwork for today's welfare economics. Both Durkheim and Pareto made long-lasting contributions to the field of sociology. Although their theories are not as highly regarded in today's sociology as they have been in the past, their contributions as two of the founders of the field are immense and cannot be ignored.
