One of the problems with much web information is that there is no real quality control.  "Any idiot can post to the web, and most of them do." Therefore, at the bottom of this page I include my professional home page address so that you can see that I have some credentials for authoring this site. I am a professor and general practitioner of the craft of sociology.  I have used Durkheim's theories in much of my writing and in my teaching of sociology. I hope you find the site useful and will take the time to fill out the site evaluation form off of the main page. I intend to post these comments in the near future.
