Advancement Of Mauriosity

Sociologists are people who are fascinated with the study of doings of men. A sociologist goes through the world of men without respect for the usual lines of demarcation. We could say that the sociologist is the man who must listen to gossip. What interest sociologist are the curiosity that grips any in front of a closed door which behind are human voices. A sociologist will occupy himself with matters that others refer as too sacred or as too unpleasant for emotionless investigation. In these travels through the world of men, a sociologist will naturally experience other professional Peeping Toms. In some places the sociologist will meet up with the economist, political scientist, psychologist or the ethnologist. Most of the time a sociologist

A sociologist should be able to observe and understand the realities of human behavior and the social settings in which it happens without being influenced emotionally or personally.

Before commencing a discussion on analyzing the article “What makes sociology a different discipline” from the other sciences we should have the know-how about sociology. In the words of modern thinkers of sociology namely Karl Marx, Max Weber and Emile Durkheim “Social fact should be the subject matter for the study of social life and can provide explanations for human thinking and behavior (p19)”. What we infer from the above definition is that man is born as a social animal. Man cannot live alone. He prefers to live in groups and his behavior that is actions and deeds are well governed and regulated by certain rules and laws of conduct that comprises of moral ethics and civic standards. His standard of living is said to be within the

After reviewing the article titles given for this first assignment, I believe they indicate that Sociology, generally speaking, is not only a study of diversity or commonality in traits among people; it is also a science about factors in a person’s life and how these factors culminate responses. Interestingly enough, its topics of concern seem to be directly determined by current and common events of the world. Through the invention and expansion of new ideas, popular trends and fashions through time, Sociology adapts to responsibly to service the very subjects of interest it studies; for, even the slightest change of a person’s daily experience can have an insurmountable impact on attitude, personal growth, family

What Peter Berger means by the first statement, in which he links sociological discovery to culture shock minus geographical displacement, is that sociological discoveries and realizations are very often made in one 's own society. When they are made, they might come off as shocking because they are being viewed in a different light. You can go to the nearest church or park and make new discoveries with what you observe in an open state of mind.

Sociology is the scientific study of human society. It examines the development of social structures, and the interaction between these structures and human behaviour. Sociologists aim to provide tools of understanding the process of socialisation, and investigate the causes and consequences of things such as labels, belief systems, bureaucracy, gender roles, relationships, and inequality. Becker and Horowitz (1972) claimed that "good sociology is sociological work that

A key part of engaging in sociology is to adopt a sociological viewpoint or 'think sociologically'. Etymologically, sociology is the 'study of society' but this doesn't differentiate sociology from other forms of social study. Hence, many begin to describe thinking sociologically by what it is not - it is not thinking politically, thinking anthropologically, thinking historically or thinking psychologically, for example (Berger 1966: 11-36; Reiss 1968: 2-3). Others try to determine the nature of sociological thinking by detailing practical phenomena which can be thought about such as social systems and their subsystems, social institutions and social structure, and social aggregates, relationships, groups and organisations (Reiss 1968: 1),

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

Sociology consists of studying the behavior of humans in their daily interactions with others by use of the scientific method. However, the scientific method alone can only tell you what you are looking for in the selected data, omitting the possible bigger picture. With combination of C. Wright Mills’s concept of sociological imagination, we are able to step out of our mindset and attempt to view social problems and/ or issues in the most unbiased way possible.

There are many classical sociologists in the world with many different theories and key elements within the sociological imagination. James Fulcher and John Scott (p.21, 2011) explain why theories of sociologists in past time and todays modern so-ciety are so important and why they can still be relevant today, “theory is or should be an attempt to describe and explain the real world, it is impossible to know any-thing about the real world without drawing on some kind of theoretical ideas.” Per-ceptions of Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim and Max Weber (who can also be known as the ‘holy trinity’ of the three founding fathers) theories have been interpreted for hundreds of years, leading to them having a remarkable impact in history and to-day’s

Sociology is the study of human society (Conley,3). Throughout human society, past and present, there has been inequalities in both physical realms and systematic realms. These inequalities exist because of survival tactics that groups developed through evolution. Having a perceived adversary throughout history promoted loyalty to our own group and made justifying atrocities much easier to think about because that other group is “different”. To create a better world and freer nation for all people, we must try to defeat this instinct and once we accomplish that, social problems and inequality will no longer hinder us as Americans. And aiding in the battle over social problems is sociology. If we know and can study why people act in situations we can effectively fight against those

What stuck out to me in this entire chapter was the value neutrality that Max Weber suggested that every sociologists should practice so that they do not allow their personal emotions to interfere with the results of data. Allowing the sociologist to use their personal feelings in the process of the experimental process, will ruin the experiment, making the experiment not reliable or valid. I agree with that you should not permit things, emotion or beliefs come into any aspect during the investigation because letting that happen will just make the finds of the experiment be about what you believe. That would be unethical because in order for something to be right, you must be able to back it up with evidence to prove it accurate. Even “though that some sociologists believe that neutrality is impossible, ignoring the issue would be irresponsible” (Richard T Schaefer 51). It is hard not to add your own thoughts and opinions to things. The problem of neutrality does not indicate that sociologists can not have their own opinions, but they have to make sure that they are not biases in any matter. This connects to situations in the the real world because in any job you are not permitted to let your

Sociology cannot be study under the outcome of all behaviors, but it can be study through the scientific laws. Evidences of actions and reactions. Second question what has sociology done? Statistics shows the population’s total amount of females/male, birth rates, death rates, and crime rates in each country. The outcome of these numerical information has developed social groups. Third question what methods has been done to make it work? Dubois uses diagrams to show the statistics of social groups. Forth question how can the material be utilized? Educating others what the research has shown. The new theories that statistics has change the views of sociological society. Dubois strongly suggests to not waste time in those who don’t value the scientific research. Only in those who seek to learn the information it’s worth educating. Fifth question what has the First Sociological Society done? In Dubois point of view society has done nothing, we as society are clueless of the idea of sociological society. Sixth question what can this society do? Gather information for and put them to use. Don’t just learn the facts and keep them to yourself. Spread your

Sociology is a study of society social life, social change, and social causes and consequences of human behaviour and allows us to gain an understanding of the structure and dynamics of today’s society, looking at the interlinking links patterns of human behaviour. Sociology looks at the in which social structure and institutions affect our everyday life. Sociological imagination was founded by C. Wright mills in the 1950`s it is an overall understanding of that some of the things that happen in society may lead to a particular outcome. Mills said

However new you are to sociology it is probable that you have an idea, however vague and general, regarding what sociology is supposed to be about. It may be that you have an idea that sociology is 'about' people. And you would be right to think so. We might start then by noting that sociology is one of the human sciences and as such it is a subject to be distinguished from the so-called 'physical sciences'. Sociology is the study of humanity.
