Document Summary

Sociological model established or degree in society and to which society is in us which is every possible way. Economic system: different level of social order etc. Ideology of individual requires that people behave the same. Ideology set of ideas that protect the way things are. Example: idea of milk that is good for you, standard ideology it deeply rooted in how society operates. Social construction of reality (makes us aware that we are working from a particular perspective). Sociological imagination: articular way of looking at things. False consciousness to think of our problems in individual way and not to understand their larger connection (social situation). When we try to understand our relationship to society we might not understand our own situation. When we do try to look at society as a whole we misunderstand out own interests. Example: work in office, people live from paycheck to paycheck, its common to think that.
