Ferdinand Tönnies 
Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft
 
Your understanding of Durkheim's theory should be melded with what is learned in the concepts of German sociologist; Ferdinand Tönnies and his two conceptual models for types of human association: Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft. They describe two common kinds of human groupings or association.
 
•    Gemeinschaft ("community")  an association in which individuals are oriented to the larger group as much as, and often more than, their own self interest, and are further regulated by common social mores or beliefs about the appropriate behavior and responsibility of members of the association.
 
•    Gesellschaft ("society") describes associations in which, for the individual, the larger association never takes precedence over their own self interest, and these associations lack the same level of shared social mores as Gemeinschaft.
