Document Summary
The more general study of society vs the concentrated study of an individual: psychology. It is the analysis of a pattern of society and social behaviour. Often used to find the causes, social factors, and roots of many of society"s problems. To utilize these found answers to understand questions. The perspective you have on different issues will be highly dependent on your sociological theory. Your theory will give you a certain view and answer for each conflict, and this answer will be drastically different from people who have other theories and paradigms. If poverty, violence, crime, oppression, and meaningless work are social matters (and they are), then we must look to a social explanation. If suicide, drug abuse, and feat are widespread in society (and they are), then we must examine the nature of that soiety to understand these seemingly individual acts.
