Document Summary
Sociology is the study of the patterned (or predictable and reoccurring) relations among human beings, and of the social institutions and societies which people create through such relations. Social institutions is a kind of social structure made up of a number of relationships. Society is the largest-scale human group, whose members interact with one another, share a common geographic territory, and share common institutions. Sociological imagination is an approach to sociology that attempts to make sense of the personal experiences of individuals within the societal context in which these experiences occur, and relate them to public issues. Social structure: any enduring, predictable pattern of social relations among people in society. We value social relationships: all relationships require interaction and negotiation. Interaction: the processes in which the social actors communicate with each other especially in face-to-face encounters: negotiation: the ways people try to engage and control one another, including communicating, bargaining, compromising, threatening and so on.
