Social Cohesion Theory

Social Cohesion Theory relates to the way members of a community or society stay connected, trust each other, and work together toward common goals. It emphasizes the importance of strong relationships, shared values, and social bonds that create a sense of belonging and stability. When social cohesion is high, people are more likely to cooperate, resolve conflicts peacefully, and support each other, leading to healthier, more resilient communities. Conversely, low social cohesion can lead to fragmentation, conflict, and societal disintegration. The theory highlights the key role that social bonds play in maintaining social order and well-being.
