Intro to Sociology (StraighterLine)
sociological imagination - ANS the ability to see how our experiences connect with structural

as they go about their daily lives.

Macrosociology - ANS focuses upon large-scale and long-term social processes of
organizations, institutions, and broad social patterns

Auguste Comte - ANS The Founder of Sociology (emphasized that the study of society must be
scientific, he urged sociologists to employ systematic observation, experimentation and
comparative historical analysis as their methods. He divided the study of society into social
statics and social dynamics.)

Harriet Martineau - ANS Feminist and Methodologist (wrote the first book on social research
methods and was among the first to do systematic, scientifically based, social research (Her
comparative analysis of slavery and the position of women in the Western world paved the way
for feminist scholarship and the further pursuit of gender equality.))

Herbert Spencer - ANS Depicted society as a system, a whole made up of interrelated parts
(Social Darwinism founder)

Social Darwinism - ANS Spencer's application of evolutionary notions and the concept of
'survival of the fittest' to the social world

Karl Marx - ANS believed that society is divided into those who own the means of producing
wealth and those who do not, giving rise to class conflict (The Role of Class Conflict)

Dialectical materialism - ANS Marx's theory that development depends on the clash of
contradictions and the creation of new, more advanced structures out of these clashes

Émile Durkheim - ANS He contended that the distinctive subject matter of sociology should be
the study of social facts (especially concerned with social solidarity, distinguishing between
mechanical and organic solidarity.)(Social Integration and Social Facts)

Max Weber - ANS said that a critical aspect of the sociological enterprise is the study of the
intentions, values, beliefs, and attitudes that underlie people's behavior. He used the word
'Verstehen' in describing his approach and contributed his notions of the ideal type and a
value-free sociology (Subjectivity and Social Organization)

, Social Laboratory - ANS The first department of sociology was established at the University of
Chicago in 1893, and Chicago served as a "social laboratory" at the beginning of the century.

Contemporary movements in sociology - ANS critical theory, feminism, and postmodern social
theory

Functionalist Perspective - ANS sees society as a system. (Functionalists identify the structural
characteristics and functions and dysfunctions of institutions, and distinguish between manifest
functions and latent functions. Functionalists also typically assume that most members of a
society share a consensus regarding their core beliefs and values.)

Conflict Perspective - ANS argues that the structure of society and the nature of social
relationships are the result of past and ongoing conflicts (draws much of its inspiration from the
work of Karl Marx)

Interactionist Perspective - ANS contend that society is possible because human beings have
the ability to communicate with one another by means of symbols (we experience the world as
constructed reality)

Sociology is a - ANS social science (cause-and-effect relationships prevail in the universe.
These causes and effects can be observed and measured, and sociologists look for correlations
among variables as a way of doing so)

research

The scientific method includes - ANS selecting a researchable problem, reviewing the literature,
formulating a hypothesis, creating an operational definition, choosing a research design,
collecting the data, analyzing the data, and stating conclusions

correlation - ANS A change in one variable associated with a change in another variable

dependent variable - ANS The variable that is affected in an experimental setting

economic determinist - ANS (money makes the changes) A believer in the doctrine that
economic factors are the primary determinants of the structure of societies and social change.

functions - ANS (observable changes) Observed consequences that permit the adaptation or
adjustment of a system

latent functions - ANS (accidental purpose) Consequences that are neither intended nor
recognized by the participants in a system. (i.e. newspaper as fly swatter)
