Clinical Sociologist

For the past few years in America, the people have seen how much education has decreased in the country. The people are not educated well enough in a specific subject, and that is the biggest problem in society. Students go to school five days a week, and they take some classes that honestly are not needed nor will be needed in the future. If someone wants to be a Psychiatrist, why do students need to know what X is in an Algebra 2 problem? Students should take the classes and courses needed to pursue the students wanted career and not just a class to take up their time and effort.

Medical sociologist analyze different medical organizations, institutions and populations by use of select methods and knowledges of social standards and cultures. Medical journalist are required to have extensive knowledge of medical terminology and the scientific method however their approach changes based on the audience and or publication they are writing for. They are not required to physically conduct research instead they interpret it and have more freedom when recording

What does sociology contribute to our understanding of health? Sociology is the study of human behaviour which ranges from social relationships to divisions of race and social class to shared beliefs of common culture. All of these diverse subjects of study is sociology’s purpose of understanding how human actions are driven by surrounding cultural and social structures. Regarding how sociology contributes to health, there have been different theories to allow our understanding of health to be clearer.

The native Aboriginal peoples of Australia have inhabited the island for at least 50,000 years. European colonization did not occur until the late 18th century, which brought diseases that ravaged the indigenous populations throughout the continent. Aboriginal children were removed from their homes from the beginning of the British occupation of Australia. These children, as shown in the film, were sent to a sort of “boarding schools” to be trained to serve British colonists. Like in the U.S.A, certain land areas were “reserved” for the aboriginal peoples. A Chief Protector was designated for the responsibility and defense of the aboriginal peoples. A more accurate title would have been the “Chief Discipliner” whose job was to “indoctrinate the aboriginal children” so as to use them for the service of the British citizens.

Sociologists develop theories to explain and analyze society at different levels and from different perspectives. Sociologists study everything from the micro level of analysis of small social patterns to the “big picture” which is the macro level of analysis of large social patterns.

The use of research in the field of sociology has led to many breakthroughs in us as humans understanding both ourselves and our culture around us. As we as society continue working to develop a better understanding of how and why we act and interact with our surroundings we need to continue completing research to answer these questions. Research in sociology has created a better understanding of society and will continue to provide clues into the human mind. However, research must be completed properly and ethically along with proper research methods. Without proper procedures of completing research we as society may receive wrong information or biased answers about questions we want answered. There are four types of research that sociology uses to give us answers about our society and careful consideration must be taken to follow the rules of these research types.

On everyday sociology blogs, I came across an article which interested me the most and it was, “ how sociological majors prepare for the labor force”, by Karen Sternheimer. The article discussed how in today’s market having a degree in any field doesn’t prepare you for a specific field, but instead a major allows students to develop skills that are important in the workforce. Also, the article states the 17 different skills which are important in the workforce as well as important to sociological majors. One of the most vital skills is critical and analytical thinking which is important in any field. Some of the skills include oral communication, written communication, working with others, awareness of diverse cultures in the U.S and as well

A physician scientist with a background in medicine and research should be a leader and motivator in the scientific community to improve medicine. In the development of new biomedical technologies, the role of a physician scientist is to translate them for clinical applications and further identify potential research areas for scientists to explore based on their experiences in the clinic. This duality of a physician scientist is important and we need more of these people that can serve as a communicator of science and research. Although this career path is not easy, being a physician scientist entails much more than just being both a researcher and a doctor at the same time.

A professor of psychology at a university in a large metropolitan area would be at risk of violating several codes of ethics if he tells his abnormal psychology class that he is a psychotherapist in private practice and that they can come to him for therapy during the duration of the semester. Several problems can occur as a result of the professor’s solicitation of his service as a psychotherapist to his students (5.6, American Psychological Association, 2002).

Sociology and psychology is the study of the mind and the environment around us which makes us who we are. These theories assist us to understand behaviour from individual and societal levels.

On page 3, Sudhir says that he finds it interesting that most of the researchers in the U of C Sociology department are not interested in meeting the subject of their research. Mostly their disinterest comes from a belief that actually communicating on a personal level with the people being studied is unscientific (Venkatesh, 2008). I find this extremely interesting that most of these researchers would not like to go down onto the streets and actually find out what the people themselves believe is wrong with their community or group. Scientific data provides a basis for who, what, and where events take place for sociologists. I personally do not believe that scientific

The strong connection between APS’s key attributes and my interest about civil not only confirms that this is where I should be but also motivates me to become a sociologist.

And finally, the interdisciplinarian must understand that real-world situations often force sociologists to conduct research that falls short of the research ideals and goals. Therefore, the interdisciplinarian must identify gaps in the sociological body of research, and fill in the gaps with insights from other disciplines to gain a better, more comprehensive

Sociologist study society, social behaviors, and this also includes culture. There are number of options for sociologists when it comes to jobs. Sociology is not the largest field, but it does is a unique one. Sociologists study culture, which has always been a field and has many aspects such as tv, media, and politics. The sociologists of the world also study people and the groups that they form. Sociology is the area that sociologists go into when they go into secondary teaching. Sociologists earn about seventy-nine thousand dollars per year.

Sociologists study social group and social behavior by analyzing the societies, social organizations, and activities that people evolve. Almost all of the sociologists work in research organizations, universities, and local government. They typically work full time during regular business hours. Most sociology jobs necessitate a master’s degree. Many bachelor’s degree holders will find positions in related fields, such as social services, education, or public policy. Employers today employ individuals who nurture creativity, creation, and critical thinking skills. They want to hire people with worldwide understandings, strong math and science skills, and superior writing abilities. Studying sociology assists people to gain the skills they need in order to become successful.
