This paper discusses Emile Durkheim's model of society. The author describes Durkheim's theory that focuses on the flaws in social institutions while emphasizing on the work place.

From the Paper:

"Durkheim's model of society was not an altogether cheerful one and indeed his ability to see the flaws of social institutions with such clarity is one of the aspects of his work that makes it so enduringly valuable; by being able to describe how social structures and institutions fail us (as well as how they support us) he was able to create a blueprint for the ways in which we might want to be able to change society.
