Explanation:

He came forward with some social facts that are defined as the norms, structures and values of a society.

What he was interested in the most, is the '' glue '' that holds a certain society together. It means, his focus was mainly on experiences that are shared, values, beliefs and behaviors that allow people to feel like they belong to the certain group and that working together is the common interest of them all. He stood up by his theory, that violence and deviance is inevitable. He thought that a perfect, stable, violence-free community cannot exist.
