What is Sociology? The study of human society and social behavior.

What is Sociology? Think about our class as a “society” – our “Sociology Society”

Contradiction We are all individuals -unique and different in some ways, but We live in groups - some pre-existing and some we develop

What is Sociology? The study of social groups. The study of how group membership shapes us (identity) and how we shape the behavior of others. The study of social order.

Groups of Three

1. How are we different?

Did you get the following? Class differences - Rich and poor Age – young and old Gender – male and female Ethnicity – different cultures Nationality – different nations, regions of the same country Family differences -divorced parents, single-parent families… Educational differences -are some people more intelligent? Religion – differences in faith / beliefs Lifestyle differences – do we have different tastes?

2. What do we have in common? If we are so different / individual / unique how are we able to live together?

Behavior – the rights and obligations- expected of someone occupying a particular status. Roles

Shared beliefs about what is good or bad, right or wrong, desirable or undesirable. Values

Shared rules of conduct that tell people how to act in specific situations Norms

The position or rank of a person or group within the society Social Status

Rewards or punishments used to enforce conformity to norms Sanctions

3. How is our “Sociology Society” possible? How is it possible for our society to function? Relationships, rules, responsibilities

4. How do we learn the rules? Experience Observation Teaching

That is a bite-size intro to Sociology but we will cover other topics

Culture Language – slang Norms and values Beliefs Diversity

Deviance

Race and Ethnicity Discrimination Prejudice

Gender and Age Gender Roles Women’s movement Ageism

Family Marriage patterns Child rearing

And so much more……
