sociological theory

Paper instructions:
1. One of the lenses through which we can try to view social theorists is the rationalist/non-rationalist/individualist/collectivist framework. Explain this framework (what do these words mean?) and use one theorist’s work to provide an example.
2. Durkheim’s study of suicide is one of the most studied works of sociological theory. What is its importance and how did it shift sociological thinking? Use specific examples.
