Benefits of the sociological perspective
1. It becomes a way of thinking, a form of consciousness that challenges familiar
understandings of ourselves and of others
we may realise that ideas we have taken for granted are not always true
2. It enables us to assess both the opportunities and the constraints that characterise
our lives
helps us to understand what we are likely and unlikely to accomplish for ourselves
and how we can pursue our goals most effectively
3. It helps us to be active participants in our society
4. It enables us to recognise human differences and human suffering and to confront
challenges of living in a diverse world
Some opening problems with the sociological perspective
1. Sociology is part of a changing world
2. Sociologists are part of what they study
3. Sociological knowledge becomes part of society

3. Science
4. Universalism
5. Progress
6. Individualism
7. Toleration
8. Freedom

Four changes

2. The growth of cities
3. Political change: control and democracy
individual liberty
individual rights

gemeinschaft (family)

The broad social change

- The cyborg age (people are adapted and compelled to live with all manner of
technologies)

Sociology is changing its nature

Summary chapter 2
Theory
= statement how and why specific facts are related
Theoretical perspective
= a basic image that guides thinking and research

work together and interconnect often to promote solidarity and stability

latent functions
= consequences that are largely unrecognised and unintended
social dysfunctions
= any social pattern’s undesirable consequences for the operation of society
2. Conflict
= a framework for building theory that sees society as an arena of differences and
inequalities that generate conflict and change
3. Social action
Macro-level orientation
= a focus on broad social structures that characterise society as a whole
Micro-level orientation
= a focus on the emerging meanings of social interaction in specific situations
, Symbolic interactionism
= a theoretical framework that envisages society as the product of the everyday
interactions of people doing things together

are far more serious elsewhere

3. Fosters a new, widespread ‘global culture’
4. Develops new forms of international governance
5. Creates a growing awareness of shared common world problems
