DIVISION OF LABOR IN SOCIETY The Division of Labor in Society by Emile Durkheim explains how in the modern societies the division of labor affects individuals and society contradicting Marx’s belief that the division of labor will all result to alienation.

The SI measurement unit is a unit that is used in science which is the most useful and dominate in this field. Other measurement units such as the metric system aren’t as useful as the SI system when it comes to being used in science.
