Collective consciousness as described by Emile Durkheim is ideas and beliefs that a group in society share. These beliefs that the members share control society and connect them together.
There are two different solidarities that will over time change the ideas of collective consciousness
and those are mechanical solidarity and organic solidarity. Mechanical
solidarity is used for smaller cities while organic solidarity is used for larger cities. With mechanical solidarity individuals are closely related to one another and they share a closer bond by placing
importance on different main things that represent the group or community. With
organic solidarity individuals of these groups encourage that each member
specializes in their own special area. The difference between the people brings
together the society in a whole.
For my example I want to use the whole illuminati idea. People feel this is a group
of different entertainer such as actors, singers, rappers, sport players, and
politics that in a whole have a control over society. People watch these people
every day and they teach the ideas they feel the world should know and people
are to follow by this. They all have their own area they focus on and specialize
in to give a sense of direction to the people of society watching them. The
ultimate idea they teach is money and the different ideas of how the world
should be. People feel they put more emphasize on the fast life like drugs,
sports and money so people who are seeing this will in a whole imitate them and
go for the same thing in real life but have to suffer the consequences of follow
those ideas. It’s basically a circle they put the idea to the street people
follow then they are able to control the people rather it’s financially or with
law. This continuous control is what makes it easy for them to put the ideas
that they want to be put out.
The illuminati represent the organic solidarity because it is used on larger groups.
As long as people keep following these ideas they put out and letting them be
controlled they will continuously put out this idea of collective consciousness.
Now when people come out and go against these ideas they tend to find ways to cut short of that so those who come in and try to lead people into the other direction rather they feel it’s
the right one they are part of mechanical solidarity. The illuminati created
this certain symbol that represents their group which is shown at the top plus
they have their own type of handshake. They also share similar social and
economic status because they all are considered upper class and they all fall
into the categories that support that they entertain the public in some type of
way. The Illuminati maintains collective consciousness because people of the
world tend to follow the rules and the people in it are connected to one another
through their higher social status. This is just an idea that I used for this
paper based off of people’s idea but I personally don’t believe this is
real.
