Furthermore‚ it can be argued that even if freedom was attainable‚ the consequential normlessness‚ or what Durkheim and Merton term anomie‚ produces an undesirable effect on both the society and the individual. Through examining Durkheim and Merton’s theories on society and anomie‚ it can be seen that freedom is an idealized‚ yet unattainable goal that‚ even if theoretically realized‚ would be destructive to the individual and society as a whole.

I shall explore how anomie defines and creates the social condition of homelessness. In doing so I shall highlight the role society plays in maintaining a state of homelessness and the dualism of conformity and anomie.

According to Weber‚ the condition of modern society is disenchantment‚ which‚ through rationalization (division of labor)‚ worldly activity is no longer motivated by cultural or spiritual values (meaning) but is instead motivated by economic impulsion. Ironically though‚ Weber attributes religious aestheticism (meaning)

The term "Alienation" in‚ what I dare to label "normal" context‚ refers to a feeling of separateness‚ of being alone and apart from others. For Karl Marx‚ alienation was not a feeling nor a mental condition‚ but an economic and social condition of class society. Not only in any society though‚ he (strongly identifying with a communist society) aims this social theory as that which affects a capitalist society.

Each theorist discovered a distinct link between history and society‚ creating separate theories based on their unique situations in the face of the emerging modern‚ capitalistic world.
