What is sociology?
|
“Sociology is the study of human social life, groups and societies. It is a dazzling and compelling enterprise, as it subject matter is our own behaviour as social beings. The scope of sociological study is extremely wide, ranging from the analysis of passing encounters between individuals on the street to the investigation of global social processes” |
nature vs Nurture
It is this question that often introduces people to Sociology. "Was I born this way or was I taught to be like this?" For a Sociologist the norms and values of a particular culture are what shape us into the individuals we become and by extention shape the society around us. To the right is an example of just how powerful this "nuture" can be which you will explore in your first lesson.
