1.Summary
Sociology is one of the
fields of social science, the study that examines, analyzes, and criticizes the
structure and activities of human society. The traditional focus of sociology
includes social relationships, social stratification, social interaction, culture
and departure. But now it has expanded its focus to a wide range of topics,
such as economic activity, health imbalances, and creation of scientific
knowledge. In other words, sociology is an attempt to understand the world.
2.What was
interesting/ What did you learn
While reading this article,
I became interested in Peter Berg, who talked about the differences between non-science
and society. A sociologist is an act of pure awareness that tries to figure out
what is there, regardless of fear and hope, Berg said. It seemed to
describe the similarities between sociology and science. To me, science is a
difficult but mysterious and interesting subject. Of course, sociology cannot
be exactly the same as science, but I can be interested in sociology because I
feel it is a science that is similar to what I normally have.
3.Discussion
Point
Sociology encompasses more
and more areas. Sociology, such as politics, history, culture, environment,
philosophy, and economics, involves almost every area related to humans. At the
same time, I think the meaning of sociology can be overloaded. In this
situation, how should we take a view of expanding the realm of sociology?
I think too much overloaded meaning of sociology should be worried too. But the sociology is really huge study of humans. So It's natural the meaning of sociology is overloading. Because the society is always changing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the argument that society always changes. I also admit that it places too much emphasis on the meaning of sociology. However, I am afraid that the meaning of the word that has been overloaded will be a burden on those who study sociology in the future.
DeleteSociety is changing.I think this should focus on changing sociology, not exaggerated meaning.
ReplyDeleteSociology really covers a lot of areas. Students who study sociology may abandon this overloaded area of sociology. As a result of social change, I think there should be a definite distinction between modern sociology and past sociology.
DeleteAnd I think the more areas of sociology are included, the more people will study sociology. Because there is a high possibility of being linked to other studies, like social science, I think that the scholars who study different subjects will study sociology together.
ReplyDeleteWith the expansion of sociology, it is a positive effect that happens when a sociologist learns a different subject, or when another scholar learns sociology. However, I think the barriers to social studies may be higher. If you want to learn sociology, you may have to learn other subjects as well. Of course not all sociologists, but I can't rule out the possibility.
