Document Summary

In the sociology room the children learn that even dreams are coloured by your perspective (we all are products of society, come from different up bringings and think differently. Interpersonal relations (significant because they look at the individual, what happened to the person, what makes them more vulnerable to that type of victimization) Group membership (what is it about their way of being brought up, gangs) Theory construction: social situation (we ifdentify a problem like a rise in crime in a specific area)------2. Concepts (identify certain ideas that might be relavant to the cause, help us define a certain situation)-----3. Hypotheses (something we anticipate might happen, in the form of a question)-----4. Theory (an explanation of the social problem based on the evidence that was gathered that will confirm the hypothesis or not, proposal to the solution/ prevention) Paradigms (focuses on a concept and a broader theme, methodologies, hass sub theories because they share common sense on what it means)
