SOCL 2001 : Sociology Test 1
Document Summary
Looking at the way individuals are a part of society (the study of human society) Everything is what it is because we say it is: check out the family tree activity focused in a certain direction. Education is not the only factor leading to higher income: reverse causality goes in time order. Interest, idea, theory: creating and finding theory, finding the theory that best fits your subject, designing your research the best possible way to collect. Example: the end of class evaluation, about this class for the semester we were in this class. Gets repeated after every class, every semester: survey research (more quantity of information) focus over a period of time, maybe an individual, a home, a school, etc, historical methods, comparative research, content analysis, experimentation. Research processing continued : analysis drawing a conclusion, application what you do with the information you found, data processing once you have collected all your information.
