Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain solidarity, relay its meanings in sociology, ethics, politics and religion from social science sources with theories attributed, describe the named terms and flag the loosely filed one, and distinguish solidarity from charity, loyalty, altruism and collective identity.

A sense of unity, mutual support and shared responsibility among members of a group or between groups, a central value in ethics, politics, religion and labour movements, expressed through solidarity actions such as strikes or aid; forms and related terms the registry aliases name include humanitarianism, sorority as sisterly solidarity among women, and mine action, humanitarian clearance of landmines, which is a distinct field that appears loosely filed as an example of solidarity in practice rather than a kind. Sociologists such as Durkheim distinguished mechanical and organic solidarity, and the concept underlies mutual aid, trade unions and international cooperation.

What it is for: Describing mutual support and shared responsibility.

It can be explain meanings; relay sociological theories; describe named terms; flag loosely filed aliases.

What the second pass must settle

  • The registry alias mine action should be moved to humanitarian clearance entries
  • Should mechanical and organic solidarity be separate entries?
  • How should sociology sources be linked?
