Chapter, 1:, The, Sociological, Perspective
Chapter, Summary
This, chapter, explains, what, sociology, is, and, how, it, is, similar, to, and, different, from, other, social,
sciences., The, sociological, perspective, focuses, on, the, intersection, of, biography, and, history., This,
chapter, also, discusses, the, origins, of, sociology, with, a, focus, on, European, sociologists, writing,
about, the, Industrial, Revolution, and, how, sociology, came, to, exist, in, the, United, States., The,
chapter, explores, the, contributions, and, debates, of, sociologists, within, the, United, States,, including,
the, debate, between, pure, sociology, and, social, reform. , The, author, then, explains, the, three, main,
perspectives, of, sociology:, symbolic, interactionism,, functional, analysis,, and, conflict, theory., The,
chapter, ends, with, a, discussion, of, the, contention, between, research, and, social, reform, and, also, the,
influence, of, globalization, on, the, field, of, sociology, and, how, the, author, believes, these, two, ideas,
could, shape, sociology, in, the, future.

Chapter, Outline
A. The, Sociological, Perspective
1.1 Explain, why, both, history, and, biography, are, essential, for, the, sociological, perspective.
1. This, perspective, is, important, because, it, provides, a, different, way, of, looking, at, familiar ,
worlds., It, allows, us, to, gain, a, new, vision, of, social, life.
2. The, sociological, perspective, is, an, approach, to, understanding, human, behavior, by, placing, it,
within, its, broader, social, context.

, Instructor’s Manual for Henslin, Sociology: A Down-to-Earth Approach, 14/e
a) The, center, of, the, sociological, perspective, examines, how, people, are, influenced, by,
society—or, the, group, of, people, who, share, a, culture, and, a, territory.
b) The, sociological, perspective, stresses, the, broader, social, context, of, behavior, by
looking, at, individuals’, social, location—employment,, income,, education,, gender,, age,,
and, race—and, by, considering, external, influences—people’s, experiences—which, are,
internalized, and, become, part, of, a, person’s, thinking, and, motivations.
c) The, sociologist, C., Wright, Mills, referred, to, the, sociological, perspective, as, the,
intersection, of, biography, (the, individual) , and, history, (social, factors, that, influence, the,
individual).
d) We, are, able, to, see, the, links, between, what, people, do, and, the, social, settings, that,
shape, their, behavior.
e) The, sociological, perspective, allows, us, to, view, the, connection, between, history,,
meaning, events, that, a, society, experiences,, and, biography, , or, an, individual’s,
experiences, within, a, specific, historical, setting.
f) The, sociological, perspective, can, help, us, see, how, social, settings, shape, people’s,
behavior.
3. This, perspective, enables, us, to, analyze, and, understand, both, the, forces, that, contribute, to, the,
emergence, and, growth, of, the, global, village, and, our, unique, experiences, in, our, own,
smaller, corners, of, this, village.
B. Sociology, and, the, Other, Sciences
1.2 Know, the, focus, of, each, social, science.
1. Science, is, the, systematic, methods, used, to, obtain, knowledge, and, the, knowledge, obtained,
by, those, methods., It, can, be, divided, into, the, natural, sciences, and, the, social, sciences.
a) Sociology, is, defined, as, “the, scientific, study, of, society, and, human, behavior.”
2. The, natural, sciences, attempt, to, comprehend,, explain,, and, predict, events, in, our, natural,
environment.
3. Social, sciences, attempt, to, objectively, study, the, social, world., Akin, to, the, natural, sciences,,
the, social, sciences, are, divided, into, specialized, fields, based, on, their , subject, matter.
a) Anthropology,, which, in, the, past, focused, on, tribal, groups,, is, closely, related, to,
sociology., It, focuses, mostly, on, culture, including, artifacts, (such, as, tools,, art,, and,
weapons),, structure, (patterns, in, the, ways, people, interact, with, one, another),, ideas, and,
values,, and, forms, of, communication., Anthropology, now, studies, groups, in,
agricultural, settings, and, also, in, industrialized, societies.
b) Economics, analyzes, the, production,, distribution,, and, allocation, of, the, material, goods,
and, services, of, a, society.
c) Political, science, focuses, on, politics, or, government.
d) Psychology, concentrates, on, processes, that, occur, within, the, individual.
e) Sociology, is, similar, to, the, other, social, sciences, in, some, ways, , but, it, is, distinct,
because, it, looks, at, all, social, institutions,, focuses, on, industrialized, societies,, and, looks,
at, external, factors, that, influence, people.
4. All, sciences, have, certain, goals.
a) The, first, goal, is, to, explain, why, something, happens.
b) The, second, goal, is, to, make, generalizations, by, looking, for, patterns,, recurring,
characteristics,, or, events, to, make, a, statement, that, goes, beyond, the, individual, and, can,
be, applied, to, a, broader, group, or, situation.
