There are numerous methods of analyzing societies and the way the function, nonetheless, most methods fall in micro and macro level theories.

  • Invitation to Sociology by Peter Berger

    922 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Peter Berger's "Invitation to Sociology", the sociological perspective was introduced. Berger asserts that it is important to examine new or emotionally or morally challenging situations from a sociological perspective in order to gain a clearer understanding of their true meanings. This perspective requires a person to observe a situation through objective eyes. It is important to "look beyond" the stereotypical establishments of a society and focus on their true, hidden meanings. Consideration of all the hidden meanings of social customs, norms, deviations and taboos, allow one to establish an objective image about the truth behind it. This method can also be applied to understanding people. This questioning, Berger says, is the root influence of social change and personal understanding of others. To do this well, it involves much intellectual prowess and ability to reason.

    Sociology in short, is the scientific study of human social life, groups, and societies. Thinking sociologically can teach us about simple human reactions and even major social events. It helps people expand on why certain things happen in the world, or at home, rather than just reacting emotionally. Sociology dissects the tiny fabric of society that people either overlook, or do not care to notice.

    According to the American Sociological Association, “Sociology is the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies, and how people interact within these contexts... Sociologists understand social inequality, patterns of behavior, forces for social change and resistance, and how social systems work.” Sociology has opened my eyes to many things I never really paid much attention to. There were 7 units of the course and each touched upon the most important parts of it with the best articles from great sociologists.

  • Social Class: Course Analysis

    In the beginning of this course I can honestly say that I had no idea what sociology meant or what it focuses on. Over the last few months I believe that I have been able to develop a strong understanding of what sociology is, and why it is important to society. I have learned sociologies purpose on topics like race, equality, gender, the environment, social class, and a few others; with this information I now have a broader outlook on what effects, and influences these topics. Finally, I believe that because of the theories, ideas, and information that I have acquired from this class I know realize my own personal place in society, and the changes that I can make that will allow me to start making more of a difference.

  • My Social Location

    Taking Sociology my sophomore year of college has helped me to open my mind and to learn many things that I never knew. Let’s start by talking a little about what Sociology really means, the true definition of Sociology is that it’s the systematic study of human society, culture, and relationships on a group level (Andersen et al., 4). With that being said, think about the major questions that we tend to ask about our social world, like, why do we have problems such as racism, what motivates people to have social status and respect, and are men and women really that different from each other. These questions listed about are exceedingly important to life as a human, and they are studied on a broader level in

  • Sociology: The Study Of Sociology In Everyday Life

    1100 Words  | 3 Pages

    Before I started taking the course of sociology I wasn’t really expecting to learn anything, it was just supposed to be an easy online class. However, that was not the case. It challenged my mind. I started to see sociology all around me, starting with family, then friends, and how I see things overall in general. The fact that we have an everyday life in which there are patterns in ways of living is what sets a platform for a sociological breakdown and for being a part in what we do. A better way of understanding ourselves. We use sociology in many ways every day. One central and important study of sociology is the study of everyday social life. Everyday life and sociology are definitely two different words and situations, but they tend to hold a close relationship. While sociology is the study of the human interaction, everyday life consists of everyday human interaction. Everyday life is filled by human beings interacting with one another, ideas, and emotions. Sociology studies the interactions with all of these and shows how mere interaction resulted in things such as ideas. For an example, race and ethnicity are important concepts in the field of sociology and are ones that are studied a great deal. Race plays a large role in everyday human interactions and sociologists want to study how, why, and what the outcomes are of these interactions. Current sociological theories focus mainly on how there are many different factors in our everyday items of life, like movies. We were assigned a final to write a review for a movie in sociological form. The movie that was on the list that also happened to be one of my favorite movies, Toy Story. When we were assigned the assignment, I never thought about how in-depth it was with sociol...
