Solidarity in social discourse

Solidarity in social discourse

In my opinion, social solidarity- it is the golden mean which tights and draw individuals together in society. It plays the main and essential role in every person’s life. Because the sense of joint co-existence in society across gender, age, status or other differentiation of society is the Solidarity.
According to John Alexander in modern society solidarity basements can be only realized reflexive intentions of people towards probably more just society.
Function of social solidarity- social system reproducing in its each hierarchic layer- from the primary social practice till the society in general.
Usually the meaning of social solidarity in social philosophy is associated with the works of O. Kont, according to him, social solidarity is created with the stable dealing of labor, is appeared and implemented in family, and is supported in society by the force. In E. Durkheim’s concept solidarity is also due to increasing functional specialization that means not only the increase of productivity, and also the changes of social relations in society, transformation of the very nature of social solidarity, which is described as the transition from mechanical to organic solidarity.
There are developed some basic directions of social solidarity issue categorizing in modern social philosophy. In structural functionalism of T. Parsons solidarity - the phenomenon of the social system in general, and on the other hand - a dynamic phenomenon due to complex of everyday interactions of factors, acting the main condition for the stability and reproduction of the social system. In phenomenological sociology of A. Schutz solidarity - a pre-defined phenomenon, and the individual does not look as a factor and subject of social creativity, as the recipient of finished symbolic forms, perceived him/her without any critical discourse.
      Thus, it is relevant to speak an the theme of Solidarity, that is important, weighty and solved now. Different countries and states follow the solidarity and tolerance, as discussed above, in order to avoid conflicts and other divestments. The world and the society in which solidarity is present, will always be transformed into a more cohesive geographical circle and bring people together. This is not Utopia of Thomas More, but the friendship tools, agreements, collective consciousness of people for a harmonious life and determining life chances, and opportunities.
