Anomie: Term coined by Emile Durkheim refers to a breakdown of social norms. A condition where norms no longer control the activities of members in society. Individuals cannot find their place in society without clear rules to help guide them. Changing conditions lead to dissatisfaction, conflict, and deviance. He observed that social periods of disruption (economic depression, for instance) brought about greater anomie and higher rates of crime, suicide, and deviance.

Durkheim felt that sudden change caused a state of anomie. The system breaks down, either during a great prosperity or a great depression, anomie is the same result.

Fantastic! BBC ought to hire you to do their promotional videos for the new series. :) The music choice was smashing, the editing stellar, and the last shot capped it off perfectly - all that strangeness and chaos, and these two at the centre of it. Brilliant.
