Document Summary
Look at society from a different perspective than other people. Groups and organizations (how they work, pick leaders, organize, influence) Social stratification and class (media ( how does marketing and advertising influence us) They watch how people have more money than others) Sex and gender (biologically male or female and the attitudes and behaviours we have adapted to being male and female) Religion (how does religion influence peoples behaviours) Mass people and try to explain why people do what they do. Sociologist are more attentive to peoples behaviours and why people make the choices they make. When a sociologist goes down town unlike the ordinary person they when they see a homeless person they would interact with this homeless person, and think about why this person is homeless and what happened. A sociologist sees the general (why are they homeless) in the particular (the homeless person)
