, Chapter 1: The Sociological Perspective r r r r




Chapter Summary r




This chapter explains what sociology is and how it is similar to and different from other social
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


sciences. The sociological perspective focuses on the intersection of biography and history. This
r r r r r r r r r r r r r


chapter also discusses the origins of sociology with a focus on European sociologists writing
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


about the Industrial Revolution and how sociology came to exist in the United States. The chapter
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


explores the contributions and debates of sociologists within the United States, includingthe
r r r r r r r r r r r r r


debate between pure sociology and social reform. The author then explains the three main
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


perspectives of sociology: symbolic interactionism, functional analysis, and conflict theory. The
r r r r r r r r r r r


chapter ends with a discussion of the contention between research and social reform and also the
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


influence of globalization on the field of sociology and how the author believes these two ideas
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


could shape sociology in the future.
