2 Social facts, then, are external to the individual. They do not, of course, actually exist outside individual minds, but they do originate outside the mind of any particular 
individual.

3 Durkheim emphasizes that social facts are very difficult to observe. Indeed, they are often observable only through their effects.

4 social facts are, in general, invisible and intangible and their properties have to be discovered indirectly. By observing the actions of large number of people who act in similar ways, for example, we may be able to infer the existence of the role of husband.
