BLOG 2 :WHAT IS SOCIOLOGY PART 2
(sociological method and theory)/ Week 2 / Angela
Summary :
In sociology we have to
understand the social phenomena, we should know about the theory about the
contex of the phenomena, and scientific method to measure and analyse the data.
To analyse data, we have
to know about the contex because, there are so many theories of sociology, and
so much phenomena that we can learn and relate with sociology, such as symbolic
theory. This theory is about the relationship between humans and society, human
action and interaction with a meaningful communication ot symbols.
According to the
articles, Epistemology is simply a way of knowing. Epistemology will be rejected
if it is not supported by the evidence and using scientific method to get the
data to be more empiric. With using the scientific method we can make the
common sense become more accurate because, with the scientific method we can
get the evidence, so the common sense can become a real and accurate data, and
the analysis of the data and we conclude the result from the analysis of the data. There are four
steps of scientific, there are characterization (operationalization),
hypothesis, prediction, and testing.
What was Interesting / What did you learn
From these articles, I
learn that sociology has so many theories and it can be related with social
phenomena, such as symbolic theory that is related with human’s behavior, and
I’m interested that it is related with psychology theories, because it is about
human’s behavior.
Discussion point :
After
reading these articles, I have a question about the theory. Can the theories
related with the ideology/idealism of one country?
