Document Summary
Chapter 1: an introduction to sociology in the global age. What you think and do as an individual is affected by what is happening in groups. You are capable to some degree of having an impact on large-scale structures and processes. Butterfly effect: a relatively small change in a specific location can have far-ranging, even global, effects, over both time and distance: ex. Japan earthquake/tsunami affected regions around the world from things such as wash. Sociology is the systematic study of ways in which people are affected by and affect, the social structures and social processes that are associated with the groups, organisations, cultures, societies, and world in which they exist up. Society: a complex pattern of social relationships that is bounded in space persists over time. People are more fluid" because they move father, more easily, and more quickly than ever before.
