According to Durkheim, one of the main functions of education is to develop these similarities to bind members of society together. Durkheim sees a common history as vital for uniting members of society. With a shared history, people feel part of a wider social group – it is their country, made up of people like themselves. In this way, education contributes to the development of social solidarity. Industrial society has a specialised division of labour – people have specialised jobs with specific skill and knowledge requirements.
Unit 25 Understand The Role Of The Social Care Worker Outcome 1 1.1 The main difference is that working relationships are not personal; they are all about working together with others to achieve goals in an organisation. Most working relationships are between people at different levels and have clear boundaries and dividing lines. The personal relationships of social care workers are likely to include relationship’s with others who are family members, friends or a partner with whom you have a close personal, romantic or intimate relationship. Different working relationships: Employer/Employee relationships: You have a formal relationship with your employer. This means that the relationship is based on agreed rules and expectations about how both sides should work together.
As a result, one person usually has more power or authority in the relationship that the other. Relationships between students and teachers, between employers and employees, and between colleagues, are examples of working relationships. Effective working relationships tend to be based on good communication, trust respect, mutual support, sharing, shared goals, reliability, cooperation and honesty between the people involved. Employer/employee relationships The employer-employee relationship is an example of a formal relationship. That is, it is based on a set of rules and expectations about how people should relate to each other because of their employment relationship.
Individuals tend to search for others who have the same personality as their own. Extraverts are social and enjoy developing and maintaining interpersonal relationships (Personality and Interpersonal Relationships, n.d.).

One of the principles of Durkheimian thought is that of social integration: achieved by the combining of multiples individual roles in one society. Integration, in terms of Durkheimian study, is the combined efforts of the group of people – all who must have both personal role and group role awareness. While individual ideologies are welcomed, central themes within the group of people are still required for true integration. The struggle of conformity and independent is an undertone is Durkheim’s thinking, as
Starting with the Functional Theory, this theory explains the every aspect of our society is interdependent and is necessary for our society to function as one or a whole. It also explains that our society is held together through social cohesion and consensus, where we as members of society work together and agree with each other to achieve what would benefit society the most and what would be our society’s best interest. Functionalism argues that if it is not a useful purpose in our society then it will be phased out from one generation to the next generation. This perspective would see that the purpose of social networking has and is every becoming useful in our society because it use and prevalence continues to increase, the Functional perspective see social networking as a way to enforce
Functionalists believe that society is based on a value consensus this is a set of shared norms and values into which society socialises its members. This enables society to work harmoniously and meet society’s needs and goals. Functionalists view society as being made up of a number of sub-systems that are dependent upon each other. These can include the education system, media, religion, and the economy. Just as the human body is dependent upon each of the functions in order to survive, society is dependent on each of the sub-systems.

Once the organization’s demands were understood and mastered by employees. They could expect to be satisfied through benefits, status in the company, and/or more income for meeting these demands and expectations in the organization. This made for a mutually sociable exchange of demands and contributions between the individuals and the organization. According to the authors, “Equity Theory is a social exchange process theory of motivation that focuses on individual-environment interaction” (Nelson, Quick, 2011, p.165).
Theorists such as Talcott Parsons and Karl Marx have both came up with theories for why they believed norms are needed in society. According to Parsons, norms dictate the interactions of everyone with social encounters in a society. On the other hand, Marx believed that norms were used to promote the creation of roles in society which allows for people of different levels of social classes to be able to function properly. He also claimed that this power creates social order. As humans we learn when and where it is appropriate to say certain things, what actions to use and how to dress around certain groups.
