Daniella Marsicano · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Emile Durkheim saw modernity as a shift toward organic solidarity, where individuals are connected through their interdependence in a complex division of labor rather than through a shared culture or values. However, this shift also meant the erosion of the collective conscious that mechanical solidarity, based on shared culture and values, is built on. Durkheim believed this could lead to social anomie and a breakdown in social cohesion.
