Document Summary
Sociology midterm 1 review (stuff not in the notes or you just have trouble remembering) Sociological imagination: the ability to view human lives as shaped by social forces, personal troubles and social issues are connected (micro is attached with macro) Norm: society"s expectations on how we are supposed to act think and look. Normative: behaviors, appearances and thoughts that correspond to society"s norms. Enrolling into university has become more of a norm over the past few years: back then, women in the like, 1950s wouldn"t even think of enrolling. They would be getting married young, having children and be a full time stay at home mom. Agency: people"s capacity to make choices, which then have an impact on other people and on the society in which they live. Sociology unlike other sciences takes all different factors of society. Other sciences may only focus on specific factors of society.
