What is sociology?

think it's important to start this blog saying that I do not want to become a rambling series of techniques performed by the server and without any interest to anyone who wants to approach the world of sociology. That said, I think it is time to get into the topic in question.

begin a bit closer the subject of sociology to those not familiar with it.

Sociology, in a rather simplistic, it is a social science whose object of study is society. Sociology deals with the study of society, phenomena and social interactions mainly topics that can be studied from two different perspectives:

1) The prospects are more focused on individuals and small groups and their relations (social interactions). These prospects are known as microsociological or more commonly known as "micro" and would explore everyday situations such as between individuals, relationships that occur in an institution ...

2) The macro-sociological perspectives by part is characterized by a broader approach which can range from the analysis of a city to the analysis of a global phenomenon as it could be immigration or poverty.

For those who want a more technical definition I found a rather interesting given by the American Sociological Association (ASA) "the study of social life, social change and the causes and consequences of human behavior research (...) the structure of groups, organizations and societies and how people interact within these contexts (...)" http://www.asanet.org/

, however, discuss the correct definition of sociology can be a topic of interest to specialists in the field, but is not the purpose of this blog post here talking about topics as varied as what sociology can contribute to a world as troubled as today?, new fields of study sociology and related disciplines, issues usually tend to create interest in most people as a sociological experiment, and any topic that is of general interest to readers of the blog.

To say goodbye I leave a response he gave Pierre Bourdieu, undoubtedly one of the best contemporary sociologists (in my opinion the brightest) to question him about whether conducted a sociology periodite is a science:

"Sociology is a science fully, but a hard science. Unlike considered pure science, it is par excellence the science that is suspected not. There is good reason for it: it produces Because fear lifts the veil of hidden things, even repressed. Sociology creates fear because it reveals, for example, the correlation between school success, which is identified with intelligence, and social origin or, indeed, with the inherited cultural capital family..
