Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft

through comparing premodern and modern social worlds. The first category of relationships is “Gemeinschaft”. “Tonnies called these emotion-based relationships.” (Page 16) Gemeinschaft relationships are formed from a close emotional bond between one another. Family, significant others, childhood friends, siblings, and your best friend are all examples of Gemeinschaft. That’s the rule for a relationship to be placed in this category; the relationship is held together and rooted by emotions and pleasure. Many people in the modern world may not have a Gemeinschaft relationship with their family members. My own understanding is that Gemeinschaft is a…

A Beautiful Community Lacombe is a truly beautiful town, with kind, welcoming people who show outstanding amounts of citizenship. However, as with any large community, it has some things I believe we could make even more exceptional. For example; the county of Lacombe has some lacking. The roads in winter are left unplowed and unattended. Police aren't as vigilant in the hamlets and small villages as they could be.

whole believed in hard work, good product, and solid kinship. This was a time when our social structure reflected the principles of mechanical solidarity and Gemeinschaft. The town began to transition around ten years ago as an urban area near us began to spread out and reach our borders. Today, we are still somewhere in the middle and reflect both social structures in different ways. In the next ten years, I believe we will be fully structured as an organic solidarity and Gesellschaft society.…

My Mechanical Solidarity and Gemeinschaft Community Mechanical Solidarity is a social structure proposed by sociologist Emile Durkheim. It is based on the idea that small communities are held together by their common surroundings and limited opportunities. Gemeinschaft coincides closely with this theory, and focuses on the fellowship felt and created within these small societies. The community which I reside in fits perfectly within these two categories. I was born and raised in Sharpsburg, GA.…

The first is gemeinschaft societies. These are face-to-face relations and include families, friends, and small towns. These societies are small, close and intimate interaction is valued. The other type of society is gesellschaft societies and these are impersonal, relationships with minimal social interaction. A lot of times, people will enter into these relationships because they want to gain something from it, rather than for social contact. In the real world, societies are a mix of the…

but despite our best efforts to prevent it, the entire building is falling down, there’s less and less space so who knows—maybe they wouldn’t let your little friend back in.”(53). Rather than the others helping the narrator, they would be indifferent to Rafa never coming back. Rafa’s absence means that there is less competition which means less people will split the static sum resulting in a larger paycheck.
