"Social anomie" is an important sociological category put forward by Durkheim. The prominence of social contradictions urgently requires the analysis and study of social anomie, which is especially important in the period of social transformation. This paper discusses themeaning of socialanomieand its influencing factors:social anomie refers to the social disorder and disintegration caused by the absence of social norms (social standards) or the loss of the original social norms.
