Chapter 1 Sociology A Unique Way to View the World

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.
