What really stuck out to me while this ready was when Durkheim stated, "The trade guild is no longer a common refuge for all... a deep gulf was established between masters and journeymen" (292). This huge occurance took place and established the division in society and not just in labor. I mean, this distinguishment must have affected human daily life greatly. This development of a somewhat class system, I feel like, made each person work independently and gave them another aspect to defend. I mean, at this turnpoint one could easily be insulted if a higher class man decides to show off or brag about his success. A new group of people was formed because of this distinguishment. New relations were established which I would like to further discuss in class.
