What is Anomie?

Sociologist Émile Durkheim used the word anomie to describe a state of normlessness —
when the rules and values that hold society together break down.

It happens in times of rapid change, crisis, or dislocation.
People lose their sense of direction. Communities lose coherence.

Durkheim even linked it to rising rates of despair and suicide.

When the social glue dissolves… what keeps us whole?
