This is primarily  based on Giddens`s discontinuist interpretation of modern history  and avoiding transitional period approach. Then in empirical level, by operationalzing the above concepts and applying quantitative methods in Tehran, the relationship between gravity of mechanical solidarity  and abnormal Forms has been examined. In so doing, the effect of particular concepts inscribed in abnormal Forms on gravity of mechanical solidarity    has been revealed. And several phenomena which previous readings were enable to explain or consider them as exceptional has been conceptualized.    This paper tries to criticize the linear (evolutionary) reading of Durkheim`s theory- which ignored all different histories in the favor of dominant history- either at evolutionary material determination level or at the level of its approach to consciousness. for  this reason by constructing the concept of gravity of mechanical solidarity  proposes  a dialectical relationship between various kinds of solidarity in different historical periods.
