Chapter 1 Sociology A Unique Way to View the World
What Will You Learn in This Chapter?
What Is Sociology?
Ideas Underlying Sociology
People are social by nature
People live much of their lives belonging to social groups
Interaction between the individual and the group is a two-way process in which each influences the other
Recurrent social patterns, ordered behavior, shared expectations, and common understandings among people characterize groups
The processes of conflict and change are natural and inevitable features of groups and societies
Sociological Findings and Commonsense Beliefs
Belief: Most of the differences in the behaviors of women and men are based on “human nature”; men and women are just different from each other
Belief: Racial groupings are based on biological differences among people
Belief: Most marriages in the United States do not last
