Talk:Dynamic density

This page needs some work. It does not clearly explain how interactions with other social groups leads to the divison of labor when population density is increasing. Anyone with a better udnerstanding of this material, please edit the end of paragraph 2 with a better explanation, please?


 * I agree, this reads like someone's high-school essay trying to analyse the topic rather than explaining it. The format is not suitable for an encyclopaedia entry. The references in brackets are not linked properly, and the explanation is complicated by the author introducing, granted related, but overall unnecessary concepts. Needs to be simplified.

I disagree. It's clear nobody here has actually read Durkheim. This concept is almost word for word what I was taught at university. The article reads very much like the material I was given, and is clear and concise. It's well written considering how dense sociology can be. I see no reason for the tags at all. In fact, it is better than most articles on WP. The complaints are sheer ignorance--ෆාට් බුබුල (talk) 09:02, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Not a hoax
I have removed a "hoax" tag, because this and this show that Durkheim did indeed use the term. JohnCD (talk) 20:14, 16 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, surely Durkheim actually used this term in some of this writings. However, I am not sure whether this actually constitutes a sociological concept in itself. There is no mentioning of Durkheim in the intro. It is also unclear how Morton fits into the story. Where does population come into play? Who are the sociologists who have used this concept? If not a hoax, surely it must be original research. Mootros (talk) 20:35, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * This could possibly be redirected/ merged into Modernization_theory or The Division of Labour in Society. Mootros (talk) 20:41, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Came across this following an entry in a Dictionary of Sociology. Seems to come close to Durkheim's similarly confusing "moral density" term. --Elekhh (talk) 00:18, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
