The division of labor emphasizes individuality while providing a variety of specific tasks. Many theorists viewed the division of labor as dividing a task into simpler tasks and assigned this task to certain people. The division of labor conflict present in modern industry is hierarchy, competition and division between society and the individual. In society, we tend to rank people from top to bottom in a hierarchical system. We have based the individual in society on importance, power and wealth. Competition in the division of labor allows for maximum production and teamwork, but creates relationships internal to the job as well as to the individual. The division between industrial society and the individual has created repetitive and tedious tasks in which the individual is unaware of his or her conscience. Overall, the division of labor took the spectrum of tasks and led to hierarchy, competition, and separation in society. Karl Marx saw the division of labor as an opposing view that would lead to conflict between the two classes and alienate the individual. He felt that the two classes: the rich and the poor were in conflict with each other. Power has played an important role in these classes and creates inequalities between the two. The rich had the ability to exploit the poor. The poor would always be in a state of false consciousness because they do not know society or are not determined to reach the top. Marx believed that struggle would destroy unity and lead to division between classes. Marx presents the division of labor as isolating the individual. In the workplace, the individual would be disconnected from their task/role and result in repetitive tasks as well as competition with each other. Hegel is a very important Enlightenment thinker for Marx because they found themselves in the middle of paper... which would result in a revolution of the capitalist system. The revolution between rich and poor would allow individuals to generate a new society. Overall, each theoretician theory builds on each other when it comes to the division of labor. Considering these points, each theorist makes a valid argument about the division of labor while exhibiting similarities and differences in their views. Marx believed that the division of labor would lead to conflict. The conflict between the two classes would lead to a revolution and from the revolution a new society would be born. Similarly, Simmel viewed conflict as something good for society because individuals would be able to form bonds and create new relationships through these bonds due to their role/task in society. Finally, Durkheim interprets the division of labor as the individual and society coexisting with each to help understand the roles of society..
