1) Based on the video you just watched, what are the two components of the sociological perspective? Seeing the general in the particular and seeing the strange in the familiar 2) Which component of the sociological perspective relates most closely to the sociological imagination? Why? Strange in the familiar, this is because you see the world as if it's your first time and the social imagination is how individual things and social forces shape our lives. These two relate to each other because we tend to do things because it’s considered a normal thing in society and not necessarily because it’s the right thing or what we actually want to do. So by being able to see the strange in familiar or for the first time you're able to figure out what parts of your life are influenced by you as an individual and what parts are influenced by society. 3) Which component of the sociological perspective relates most closely to social constructionism? Why? General in the particular, this is because the general in the particular refers to understanding individual behaviors as a part of a larger social context. Social constructionism is the theory that humans make up ideas that then become facts. These two terms relate to each other because they both involve looking at things on a wider scale. You have to look deeper than just the individual to understand social context. You have to understand that not all people see the world in the same way and that can be influenced by many things such as location, experience, etc. General in particular and social constructionism help to explore those differences.
