They are linked through various organizations and institutions of social
upbringing. Their importance is the mutual exchange of these individuals for the
continuation of this social bond But it may be strengthened and weakened by some
changes to society such as social change, as confirmed by the early socialists such
as Ibn Khaldun, Durkheim, Ferdinand Tunis, Louis Wirth and Charles Cooley.
Social of piety in certain groups or communities and weaken the other and up to
disintegration in some developed societies, because of the tyranny of
individualism, rationality and special interests and causes of course vary from one
environment to another. Based on the above, we seek through this article to
