Question 5:

Very Hard

Consider the following passage from Emile Durkheim: 'What is a social fact? It is a thing that exists, or existed, that has the property of exerting an external coercion on the individual; or yet, that is general in the extent of a given society, at the same time that it possesses its own existence, independent of its individual manifestations'. Based on this concept, and using your knowledge of classical sociological theory, discuss Durkheim's approach to the analysis of society and social integration, comparing it with the perspectives of Karl Marx and Max Weber. Critically evaluate to what extent these three authors agree or disagree on the nature and importance of 'coercions' in their sociological theories and how they relate to social dynamics and historical change.
