The view that society is an organic whole has been widely accepted that society is not a collection of individual individuals or a simple sum, but a community of various groups linked by specific relationships and ties. In the social organism, the elements that make up the society depend on and coordinate with each other, at the same time, there are contradictions and conflicts. Social conflict is a characteristic "morbidity" of modern industrial society, therefore, the ability to reconcile various contradictions and conflicts of interest is an important condition for the sound functioning and development of a society, and any society is faced with the task of social integration. In Western societies, social integration is regarded as the process of social integration or the ultimate state of this process. The British philosopher Herbert Spencer introduced the concept of social integration, arguing that at a late stage of social evolution, society had become so complex that it was impossible for each sector to adjust itself, and that "social integration" was needed to perform the function of coordination and control within society. Social integration is a state of differentiation and unification of different sectors of a country, which includes the social coordination of differences. Emile Durkheim systematically studies social integration, distinguishing two types of social integration, namely mechanical solidarity based on socio-cultural homogeneity and organic solidarity based on complementary roles and mutual commitment. In the light of the Anomie of social order in the development of human society, social scientists and Marxism used different methods and tools to investigate and put forward solutions to the problem. Comte advocates the use of science and natural law to achieve social integration. Durkheim highlights and emphasizes social consensus. Coser advocates releasing hostility through social safety valves. Parsons proposes to maintain the basic values and norms shared by members of society to avoid socially divisive conflicts. The use of ideology for social integration has worked well in some cases and has not been effective in others. Ultimately, the root causes of conflict must be analyzed through socio-economic relationships, drawing on various integration theories and tailoring the remedy to the specific situation in order to achieve the goal of effective social integration.
