Document Summary

Perspectives on the social dimensions of sport and physical activity in. We must see sports as social phenomenas that have meanings beyond everyday experiences. What these meanings produce assist us in understanding: 2. the societies in which sport exist the social worlds that are created around sports; sport is important in contributing our ways of being. 3. the experiences of individuals and groups associated w/ sport. Responses from hk students are typically positive. Sociology enables students/researchers to examine these issues through concepts and theories that emphasize the social as opposed to individual causes and that point toward structural solutions to problems identi ed in sport (hall, from text on p. 4) Sociology is the disciplined study of human social behaviour, especially the investigation of the origins, classi cations, institutions and developed of human society on a global level (de nition from henslin et al, from textbook p. 5)
