According to Durkheim, when a society increases in size, its division of labor becomes more specialized. People begin to depend upon one another and become interdependent. They rely on each other to do their work, and don’t mind diversity in thought. This form of social integration was a concept that he termed ________.
A) organic solidarity
B) social institutions
C) master status

Contrary to mechanic solidarity, where all primitive societies are formed by individuals having almost all the same work responsibilities and having a very similar set of beliefs modern societies show deep forms of relationships in the workplace.

The modern societies becoming interdependent among many specialized groups of people working in very broad and different work environments will also have very different beliefs and mindsets.

Durkheim argues how this will enable advanced societies to have a higher social cohesion that bases on the specialization of work.

For Durkheim, this very specializing of works makes the social order to emerge.

As different functions are represented by different groups he compares them to a living organism where different organs work together to keep the organism alive.

He called organic solidarity to the interdependence that is necessary and where social integration acknowledges the diversity in beliefs and attitudes.
