HOMICIDE Sociology differs from other social sciences in the way it examines all aspects of the social world.We must understand what affects not just the individual, but what influences a group or a community’s actions, beliefs, economic status, beliefs, values, etc. This means….. You must learn to think critically,listen, and discuss!!! For example: Why do you think people (not just a person, think groups) commit murder? What would drive people to it? Take a minute, think, Write out 2 reasons on your index card Turn to your partner and share your thoughts.
