Sociology • Howard Becker defined sociology as the study of people “doing things together.”

• This reminds us that society and the individual are inherently connected, and each depends on the other.

• Sociologists study this link: how society affects the individual and how the individual affects society. 4

Cool Insights

from Sociology

Humans cannot be understood apart from social context (i.e. society)

Society makes us who we are by structuring out interactions and laying out an orderly world before us

Society is a social construction, that is, it is an idea created by humans through social interaction and given a reality through our understanding of it and our collective actions. 6

Sociological

imagination

an awareness of the relationship between an individual and the wider society, both today and in the past

rather than only from the perspective of personal experiences and cultural biases.

key element is to view one’s own society as an outsider would

Example:Divorce

Divorce, for example, is unquestiona

bly a personal

hardship for a husband and wife who split apart.

However, C. Wright Mills advocated using the

sociological imagination

to view divorce not

as simply an individual’s

personal problem but rather as a

societal concern.

Using this perspective, we can see

that an increase in the divorce

rate actually redefines a major social institution—the family.

Today’s households frequently

include stepparents

and halfsiblings

whose parents

have divorced

and remarried.
