SOC 302 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Every Day Life, Macrosociology, Microsociology
Document Summary
The scienti c study of patterns of human interaction within the context of groups, aggregates, organizations and entire societies. We use the scienti c method (like in chemistry). Ex: the construction going on to make the medical school. The patterns usually take place in groups (football teams, microsoft, church, etc. ); take place in aggregates; occur within contexts of institutions (education: ut, multiple organizations/groups); take place in societies (societal norms): what we eat, when we eat, what we wear. Sociology does not follow the individual behavior, but the behavior of us as a. Whole: the art of looking deeply at every day life. We observe patterns every day and we try to gure out why these patterns exist. (we don"t typically come up with data, but we come up with something on our own as to why certain patterns exist. Why is it that these patterns are happening?!: types of sociology. Overlaps with anthropology, economics, political, urban, etc broader discipline.
