Personal Disorganization and Social Disorganization

Social disorganization consists of the co-ordination of individual responses as a result of the operation of consensus and control. Personal organization refers to the coordination and integration of the attitude systems within the personality. A change in the cultural context which destroys the functioning of coordination that constitutes the social order represents social disorganization. Similarly any variant behavior which disturbs the integration of the attitude systems within the personality represents personal disorganization.
