Abstract
This paper explains that, while Max Weber explores the rational for religion and government, Emile Durkheim's biggest concern in his writings is how society can maintain its integrity in the modern era. The author points out that the differences between Durkheim and Weber are few although they did observer society from opposite ends of the spectrum. The paper relates that, while Durkheim focused on the social aspects of society, Weber focused on the economic aspects and bureaucracy. The author underscores that both philosophers felt a need to break away from the traditions that surrounded them, to modernize society and to help it evolve. The paper states that Weber's understanding of the connotations of people's actions gave him insight into the evolution of a modern society; whereas, Durkheim was a Darwinist who believed that basing science on a single hypothesis was not a reliable choice.
From the Paper
"Durkheim is often referred to as the father of sociology. He was concerned that shared religious and ethnic backgrounds prevented society from maintaining its integrity. Along with Herbert Spencer Durkheim broke society up into categories defined by the function they held in society and whether or not they contributed to the health of society. Durkhiem was opposed to Weber's view that society was a sum of its parts. He believed that the action of individual people is what created a healthy society. His theory was called methodological Individualism."

Abstract
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.

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the ideas of the French thinker Emile Durkheim and the German economist Max Weber. The writer discusses how Durkheim was interested in defining and explaining religion as a force that drives people, whereas Max Weber focused on identifying its relationship to other social and economic phenomena. Durkheim believed that religion is the basis of social organization and behavior, while Max Weber did not look at the population as a whole when analyzing its religious aspects, but at each individual. The writer concludes that, although their views differed on how religion influences society, in attempting to establish new rules and view religion from different perspectives they represent, together with Karl Marx, the foundational sociological traditions examining the "institution" of religion.
From the Paper
"Both Emile Durkheim and Max Weber approached religion in order to identify its connections with external forces. While Durkheim looked at religion in terms of a social connection and a social determination, Weber analyzed it from the standpoint of economic development. The approach taken by Durkheim is more complex in regard to the actual religious features as it presents the sacred and profane division of human activities, whereas Weber's approach is more economic and tries to identify a connection between economically emerging countries and the religion practiced by its inhabitants."

Abstract
This paper explains that, during the 19th century, the field of social sciences was introduced to the revolutionary ideas of a French social theorist,Emile Durkheim, author of the discourse on social integration and solidarity, ?Suicide: A Study in Sociology". The author points out that, in Durkheim's Law of Social Gravity, he explains how the physical structure of an environment or local area influences the social structure of its people. The paper applies Durkheim's theories on the suicide phenomenon, The Law of Social Gravity, to present-day gang behavior of lower-class youth.
From the Paper
"Thus, in the case of suicide, Durkheim applies this social law, where he posits,?? groups that have a higher social density have less likelihood that their members will kill themselves? because social structure? (makes an individual) less individualistic? With higher social density, the meaning of life is attached to participation in the group, not to one?s own wishes? (190). In effect, because there is greater social interaction and integration in societies with high social density, there is less danger that an individual will feel alienated in his/her own society. Groups within the society also help integrate an individual in the society, giving him/her a sense of identity and belongingness in that group, and in effect, in the society as well."

Abstract
This paper addresses themes of teacher control and student freedom in Rousseau's educational theories. "Emile" is widely touted as advocating the maximum student autonomy, but careful study reveals that a predetermined curriculum is maintained by the use of persuasion and cajolery, which Rousseau rightly treats as different from authoritarian force. However, the paper charges that his constant appeal to "natural inclinations" being the best teachers is contradicted by his teaching examples.

Abstract
Emile Zola was a French critic and writer, better known for his extreme opposition of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and his fiery social commentaries against society in the 19th century. The paper shows how Zola was intensely interested in portraying life as he saw it without romanticizing about some of its aspects. It describes how initially his works did not receive much public acclaim but after the publication of "Therese Raquin" in 1867, he became a well-known literary figure in France. The paper shows that from 1871 to 1893, Zola focused on the publication of what is now known as the Rougon-Macquart series. Under this series, he came up with what are considered some truly amazing novels including "L'Assommoir" (1877), "Nana" (1880), "Germinal" (1885) and "La Bete Humaine" in 1890. The paper also discusses Zola's involvement in the Alfred Dreyfus affair.
From the Paper
"This brings us to an important feature of his works i.e. naturalism. From the proposal above, it is clear that Zola was a naturalist and believed in presented his stories in the light of his definition of naturalism. Zola was the pioneer of a new creed of naturalism, which focused on reality and its true depiction. His kind of naturalism was based on true depiction of life, as it exists. Not much was added to or subtracted from what the author observed during his research on various topics. Everything was presented in its real form with intense focus on human emotions and thoughts. For example at one point ion Germinal, the author used the technique of naturalism to foreshadow the ending. Characters appear almost real and thus their thoughts and emotions can be related to. There is no artificiality or shallowness in their portrayal neither is there an element of romanticism anywhere."

Emile Durkheim's and Karl Marx's Views of Religion, 2006.

Abstract
Religion plays a key role in the works of both Emile Durkheim and Karl Marx and a close look at their respective views on religion are therefore very important. With that in mind, this paper argues that, while both Durkheim and Marx are not strong advocates of religion, Marx is especially sharp in his denunciation. In particular, whereas Durkheim does see some salutary effects associated with religious practice - such as the promotion of social solidarity as well as a collective moral code - Marx views religion as being basically an appendage of the capitalist establishment. More than that, Marx's vision of both religion and of capitalism is so unflattering that he compares the former to an ancient Near Eastern religious sect which favored the sacrifice of children to an obscure deity.

Emile Zola?s "Ladies Paradise", 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that, with the character of Denise Baudau, a lowly worker, Emile Zola presents in "Ladies Paradise" a somewhat skewed vision of the struggle between the sexes with this protagonist ultimately obtaining her goal to marry the less than admirable but higher ranked Monsieur Mouret. The author points out that advertising in the days of this novel worked the same way as today: To create a need by implying that women have some defective quality and promising that their product will make them more beautiful. The paper relates that Zola observes that women come to equate the products with their sexuality with its sensual allure festering and growing until they become an addiction for the women that they must have the products at all costs.
From the Paper
"Consequently, a raging competition ensues and the ladies compete with each other for customers and the attention of Mouret. The shop girls are forced to dress in a certain way in order to be successful, which is by pleasing Mouret and garnering his attentions. If they can garner Mouret's attentions, a shop girl will have the great honor of exchanging sexual favors for the right to do as she pleases at the department store, as Clara Prunaire does. As long as the shop girl can keep Mouret pleased, she is protected from being sacked."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses Emile's Durkheim's theory of the division of labor. The paper also compares Durkheim's theory to that of Karl Marx. The paper further discusses Durkheim's concern with the social implications of increased specialization.
From the Paper
"Nowadays, students have to choose between different academic disciplines: maybe one student prefers to be a psychologist rather than a physician. And then once the student has decided on psychology, he must choose, for example, to be a psychology major, as opposed to a physician major. Further more, there are even different categories within disciplines: social psychology, organizational psychology, clinical psychology, educational psychology etc., each with its own concepts, terminology and methods. As in many other areas of activity, the division of labor in modern academia was a necessary phenomenon in the modern society given the the economic and social conditions of the modern world, when the aim of education is to prepare students for different specializations and then, through working, interdependence and collaboration is necessary in order to reach the goal and obtain the wanted results. Durkheim's theory division of labor depicts the fact that in a society based on the members' dissimilarity, co-operation is essential and, finally, this is what characterises modern society. "

Abstract
An analysis of Zola's novel "Au Bonheur des Dames" by studying the characters. The backdrop of the novel is the theme of how capitalism is stronger than the bourgeois life. The characters are played out along this theme by living their simple life and we are shown how the economic forces steer them.
From the Paper
"Au Bonheur des Dames (1883), or The Ladies' Paradise, is one of the later novels in Zola's Rougon-Macquart cycle. It is a satirical, cynical novel in its narrative tone, yet is also quite optimistic. Its main theme is how modern capitalism, modern forms of consumer behavior, and modern morality triumph over the old ways of bourgeois life. These historical and social struggles both provide a background for and illuminate the romantic escapades of the owner and capitalist hero of the book, Octave Mouret and the heroine, the naive Denise Baudu. Denise is a worker in his store 'The Ladies' Paradise.' Denise provides the moral force of change in the novel; Octave Mouret exemplifies the force of social change in commerce. "

Abstract
Reviews Durkheim's view that there are essentially two types of law that exist in a society-- repressive law which deals with penal law and restitutive law which consists of restoring relationships, which have been disturbed, back to their normal state.
From the Paper
"On the issue of law and how it pertains to crime and society, Durkheim concludes that ?crime is necessary? (Durkheim 23). If there were no crime, it would be evident that change was not possible. Crime is both functional and dysfunctional role in society (Durkheim 22). It is functional, or necessary because when crime and deviance are recognized, the community imposes punishment against such behavior. Punishment reminds society about what it should and should not do as well as heightens awareness of the shared moral sensibilities and community identity."

Emile Durkheim, 2002.
This paper discusses the theories of the French sociologist Emile Durkheim who saw society as a reality in its own right and identified patterns to the experiences of individuals.

Abstract
This paper states that the totality of beliefs and sentiments common to average citizens of the same society forms a determinant system which has its own life and can be a collective or common conscience. The author believes that Durkheim departs from Marx by arguing that organic solidarity in modern society is due in large measure to the division of labor. The author compares Durkheim to Adam Smith by theorizing the contractual relations or exchanges necessarily developing with the division of labor.
From the Paper
"Durkheim was more deeply worried about the lack of intermediate groups between the individual worker and the impersonal forces of government and business than was Marx. It was his position that while a division of labor was inevitable in any society because of both the disparate talents of individuals and the multiplicity of tasks that needed to be performed to maintain society, a negative organic solidarity leading to conflict could be created."
