Before I post the passage I quoted yesterday (which you should incorporate in your notes of course), let me call your attention to the blog post for yesterday which is a description of the longer paper you will be required to do. I do not plan to hand out a hard copy, so you will need to refer to that blog post when you get ready to start working on it.
The only passage I quoted yesterday underscored an important difference between Durkheim and Tonnies and their views of the city:
"Although both theorists recognized that cities were associated with the growth of social differentiation and individuality, Tonnies feared the undermining of the very fabric of social life, whereas Durkheim saw the possibility of continuing social cohesion and greater human development."
We'll start tomorrow with Georg Simmel's "Metropolis and Mental Life". And we will begin to talk about Heat Wave next week. Also, a reminder to the Green family to post your case against sprawl. If it is not up by tomorrow, you will not get any credit for it.
