The French sociologist Emile Durheim used the concept 'anomie' to talk about the dangers that people in modern societies experienced. He constructed this French word 'anomie' (meaning without 'norms' or social laws ) to describe the dysfunctional aspects of modern societies - that change might occur so quickly, and individualism might be so strong - that people feel as though they are living in a society that has lost its social rules, its norms.

So, when I finally read the story, as I thought it made me cringe.…

Faecal contamination of water is routinely detected by microbiological analysis. The approach that has been adopted is to analyses for indicator organisms that inhabit the gut in large numbers and are excreted in human faeces. The presence of these indicator organisms in water is evidence of faecal contamination and therefore, of a risk that pathogens are present. If indicator organisms are present in large numbers, the contamination is considered to be recent and/or severe. Total coliforms, fecal coliforms, and Escherichia coli are indicators of water quality.…

Ever since people have communicated, people have wanted to encourage some ideas, while suppressing others. This idea eventually became known as censorship, and was applied by groups of even minimal power all over the world. The merit of censorship has been argued from many different sides, for many different reasons.
