Emile Durkheim's observation that rapid social change and a more specialized division of labor produced strains is TRUE.

Explanation:

The changes in society that were being caused by changing trends with time were devised and noted by Emile Durkheim as the factors of the breakdown of the traditional integrity of society. He was the first sociologist to state that with every big change introduced in society, the society would reintegrate itself to accept it at the cost of some of its older values.
