Emile Durkheim was a French social theorist whose theories were described as being unconventional during his time and focused on modernity. He put a lot of effort in trying to understand the importance of social construct and its complexities and how it coincided with life. He believed that society operates as a biological organism, social institutions function in combination with one another, for the benefit of the whole society. This is still relevant today as Durkheim believed that change occurs through adaption or integration of society and for changes to take place effectively, it has to be gradual, and as a whole, a perspective in which he viewed society as "the whole being greater than the sum of all its parts." Durkheim also believed that basic social phenomena maintained an ongoing social system and that it was required for society to thrive and develop. This was his basic idea that unexpected events inspired change, as these events would make us react and behave differently in unfamiliar situations. By observing "the whole and "all its parts , Durkheim could show how they naturally worked towards the better good of society. His theory of society being a "social organism describes our society very well, it's a system in which each part, in some way, effects each and every other part, for the benefit of the all of society. Our actions are shaped by various aspects of social life and if the system were to survive, its' various parts must be compatible or have some degree of tolerance with one another. There is also something Durkheim suggests to be cautious of, as it could be detrimental to society and its propensity to function as a "whole , the term anomie is used to describe this caution. Anomie can be basically be described as the breakdown of social bonds between an individual and their community, it is the possibility of society providing little to no moral guidance to individuals. If there is an unexpected event or an unfamiliar person that encounters you in your life, chances are that the society you live in hasn't constructed a set of norms from which you could pull from for information on how to react. This will leave you feeling uncomfortable, scared, and unable to assume your normal sense of being, which could lead you to do something that you wouldn't normally do, a reaction that is either moral or immoral. Your inability to know how to respond in that situation is the essence of anomie, and the reason why Durkheim attributed it to basically everything that went wrong in society or any period in a country's history where citizens felt out of control or drifted towards new and potentially dangerous phenomena. Durkheim placed emphasis on anomie because he blamed it for any inexplicable random act of violence committed by an individual. Violence and acts of deviance are still an unfortunate part of society today and his description of anomie is a valid explanation for its existence. Max Weber believed that class and power are key dynamic factors that influence society. He believed that class acted as a political economic power and was a major factor in the historical development of modern society. He also believed that ownership of capital or labour separated the two major classes of society, he argues that differences in the amount of social power is also an important factor in determining the amount of influence is present in society. Weber believed that modern society was dominated, not only by owners of capital, but also by those with political power and viewed bureaucracy as the major of basis of power in modern society. The rationalization process is the practical application of knowledge to achieve a desired end, it leads to efficiency, coordination, and control over both the physical and the social environment. It is a product of technological innovation and progress and is seen as the guiding principle behind bureaucracy and the increasing division of labor. It has led to the unprecedented increase in both the production and distribution of goods and services. It is also associated with secularization, depersonalization, and oppressive routine. Increasingly, human behavior is becoming marginalized by rational thought to understand the context of natural and social environment to achieve a desired end. This theory is relevant in todays topics of labor, businesses, power, influence and government, as most of our economy and lives have been influenced by our growth technologically and as a population. Next is Weber's general theory of rationalization, which refers to increasing human mastery over the natural and social environment
