We should learn from our own and other societies mistakes and improvise our own solutions and our own path that will eventually define a new culture that is more acceptable to our choice of life, at least thats my take.   Even though, I agree with you on that  Durkheim’s theories apply to our older generations, but most of the 'new' ideas presented by our generations are just blind imitations of western culture taken out of context and without in real experience of that culture, other than the TV and cinema.   novelty, as you say, is something new and I would agree with you on the need to try new solutions to old problems; but adopting certain failed aspects of foreign cultures that have been proven to have only a negative impact on their societies to ours, simply because it is ‘new’ to our society isn’t the same.
