The Sociological Perspective and Research Methods
9
About the structure and organization of society?
How all the “pieces” of society fit together? What makes society “function”? What causes
it to be “dysfunctional”? How people are influenced by factors in their
social environment including their family, the media as well as educational, political and economic institutions etc.?
Have you ever wondered…

Explore these questions everyday in an attempt to understand “why people do the things they do” within the structure of a particular society from a sociological perspective.
Welcome to an elite group of scholars.
Sociology Students…

Sociologists study what has happened, what patterns can be observed and what social factors may have contributed to the existing social condition.
The discipline of Sociology also studies who cares and who is affected by the social condition right now.
The “So What and Who Cares” Factor

Importance of a Global Sociological Imagination The future of our nation is intertwined with
the future of other nations on economic, political, environmental, and humanitarian levels.
Understanding diversity and developing tolerance for people who are different from us is important for our personal, social, and economic well-being.
