Answer 1

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Emile Durkheim (1858-1917) was a French anthropologist, sociologist, and social scientist. According to him, social change normally takes place gradually, slowly. He observed that, when social change happens rapidly, it causes strain and breakdown. That leads to an increase in anomie, which is a sense of futility due to the sensation that social norms are weak, absent, or even conflicting.
