Answer:

-mechanical solidarity

-organic solidarity

Step-by-step explanation:

Mechanical solidarity is commonly found in rather traditional, small, and undifferentiated societies, where the social integration of its members relies on shared values and beliefs.

Organic solidarity develops with the specialization of work found in modern and industrial societies with a division of labor, where integration relies on people´s need for each other´s services.
