Durkheim's Typology of Social Solidarity
Social solidarity is based on social structure which is based on a society's division of labor.
Mechanical Solidarity - people are united by traditions and shared values.
Organic Solidarity - people are united by mutual dependence on one another.

Tönnies: Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft
Concerned with what happens to social solidarity when a “loss of community” occurs.
Gemeinschaft - social relationships are based on bonds of friendship and kinship.
Gesellschaft - social bonds are based on impersonal relationships with little consensus on values.

Goffman’s Dramaturgical Analysis
Daily interactions are similar to dramatic productions.
Members of our “audience” judge our performance and are aware that we may reveal our true character.
Most of us attempt to control the impressions we give to others.
