Sociology An introduction

So.. What exactly is Sociology? The scientific study of social structure (human social behavior) What’s unique about it? It has it’s own perspective! It never focuses on the individual, but always at the social, or group, level.

Societal vs. Individual Responsibilities 1. Someone who can’t find a job is __________. 2. Homelessness is the result of __________. 3. Immigrants come here because of __________. Personal (individual) Societal (group)

Patterns Sociologists find and focus on patterned behaviors. Ex: Teacher and student Social structure is what captures the attention of sociologists. They study the patterned interaction of people in social relationships

Group vs. Individual Behavior Emile Durkheim: helped develop the sociological perspective mixing of parts, to create a new whole (bronze ex.) something new is created when individuals come together

Why do people conform?

Acceptance? Out of fear? To be loved? Peer pressure?

Acquiring the Sociological Perspective This perspective allows us to develop a sociological imagination: the ability of individuals to see the relationship between events in their personal lives and events in their society SO.. It connects personal problems with public issues

Example: Pressure to be thin

What other pressures do people face in society What other pressures do people face in society? Do pressures differ among genders?

Pressure to be successful Pressure to be smart Pressure to fit in Pressure to be pretty/handsome

What happens when one does NOT conform? http://www.tubechop.com/watch/502925
