Document Summary
Sociology as the study of forms of interaction. Mead had an idea about a certain kind of every day activity. You always respond automatically in a way that isn"t necessarily expected of you. This is a very different way of thinking about creativity than. For him charisma embodies the idea of social creativity, because they don"t follow normal traditions and rules. They break rules, and do things differently which in turn creates new rules. In life there are rules and structure, and every once and a while a great thinker comes along and changes things. What s true today might not be true tomorrow (weber) The rise of scientific thinking will be a threat to scientific culture, because religion has held society together for so long (durkheim) Things happen because there was a goal or a purpose to it. You don"t know what the goals are at all. There aren"t really even goals in life at all.
