Emile Durkheim is considered the founder of sociology. Perhaps you are wondering how a French Professor from the turn of the 20th century could have anything to do with society today.

But don't worry, down at the bottom I have plenty of links so you can find out lots more about him once I pique your interest. | |||||||||||||||||||
