Document Summary
Emile durkheim (1951): demonstrated that suicide is more than just an individual act of desperation that results from a psychological disorder. Social structures: stable patterns of social relations. Most married women who work full time in the paid labor force do more housework and child care than their husbands; governments give little assistance to families for childcare and afterschool programs. The unequal division of work in the household is a major source of marriage dissatisfaction. It involved the large scale application of science and technology to industrial processes, the creation of factories, and the formation of a working class. The scientific revolution: began in europe around 1550. Scientists proposed new theories about the structure of the universe and developed new methods to collect evidence so they could test those theories. Theories: tentative explanations of some aspect of social life that state how and why certain facts are related.
