A dramatic manifestation of the mechanistic pattern of solidarity is now emerging in Syria, as well. While Syrians have been facing death, violence, and displacement for more than two years, the international community has been busy debating the nature of the Syrian rebels.
戏剧性的机械团结模式目前同样也在叙利亚出现。两年多来当叙利亚人面对死亡、暴力和流离失所时，国际社会一直在忙于辩论叙利亚反政府武装的性质。孤立无援的叙利亚社会开始解体并依托宗派界线展开重建。随着冲突不断加剧，原有的专业身份开始消失，家庭、地区和宗教团结则开始浮出水面。
