Part 2) Hello class. For this week, I would like you to view this video about Emile Durkheim and social facts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd9rraNMZbs Durkheim was famous for his pioneering sociological suggestion to treat social facts as "things." Examples of Social facts can include the following: population data, crime statistics, legal systems,as well as survey findings/public opinion, cultural objects,and so much more.

I would also like you to take a look at an article called The individual society or both.pdf This article compares views of the causes of poverty by different demographic groups. What I would like for you to do is to apply Durkeimian logic about social facts to comment on something specific that you took away from the article. Please then comment on a classmate's post
