Basic knowledge and understanding of society and sociology

Understanding Sociology 1. Contact with Sociology After the college entrance examination, I came into contact with this major, which has received little attention, sociology, and then entered this major by mistake, with my longing and curiosity, I began to enter the world of sociology. 2. Understanding of several aspects of sociology (1) What is sociology? That's the first question I asked.

In my mind, the concept of sociology is very vague, let alone the specific content of the formation, so the first thing I think about is the concept of sociology. The concept of sociology is a comprehensive and specific society about the conditions and mechanisms for the benign operation and coordinated development of society.

Sociology is a science that aims to provide an interpretive understanding of social action and thus a causal explanation of the process and results of social action. The words "comprehension and interpretation" represent its deliberate position, in contrast to Durkheim's attitude towards social phenomena that can be convicted by scientific research, and the paradigm of the two masters is also different from the object of study, compared to Durkheim's social phenomena, Weber takes social action as the object of study: "social" action refers to the action of the actor whose subjective meaning concerns the behavior of others and points to its process.

Weber's disbelief that copying the logic of the natural sciences can be applied to sociology, as is clear from how he understands and interprets the object of study, and from the starting point, Weber argues that instinct is not the fundamental motive of human behavior, including habits, emotions, and value norms: a correct causal interpretation of a specific action means that the external process and motivation of the action can be grasped faithfully, and at the same time a meaningful understanding of all its relations can be achieved.

Starting from Weber's sociological definition, he has consistently divided understanding into direct observation and interpretive understanding.

Sociology is a discipline that systematically studies social behavior and human groups, which originated in the thirties and forties of the 19th century and is a modern discipline that evolved from social philosophy. Sociology is a discipline with multiple approaches to study. Sociology is mainly concerned with the quantitative method of scientist positivism and the humanistic method of understanding, which are opposed to each other and interrelated, and jointly develop and improve a set of knowledge about the structure and activities of human society, with the main goal of using this knowledge to seek or improve social welfare.

Sociology is a broad field of study, ranging from micro-level social actions or interpersonal interactions to macro-level social systems or structures, so sociology is often placed alongside economics, political science, anthropology, psychology, history, and other disciplines in the social sciences.

Sociology has a wide range of research topics and research principles, and its traditional research objects include social stratification, social class, social mobility, social religion, social law, deviant behavior, etc., while the mode adopted includes qualitative and quantitative research methods. Since all spheres of human activity are shaped by the influence of social structures and individual institutions, sociology has further expanded its focus to include other related subjects, such as medicine, military or criminal systems, the Internet, and even topics such as the role of scientific knowledge development in social activities. On the other hand, the scope of social scientific methods is becoming more and more extensive.

As the name suggests, sociology is the science that studies society, and it contains sociological theories and sociological research methodsSociological theories, including social exchange theory, economic sociology, social organization, and so on. Sociological research methods, including survey research methods, statistics, etc., are very practical and valuable sociology, and the most striking achievements in modern times are empirical research methods, which have great inspiration for market research and so on, and should be applied to market research.

Studying sociology is learning a way of thinking, a way of analyzing problems. Society is constantly developing and changing, and if we look back at China a hundred years ago, we can see how different people's lifestyles and values were from today.

This means that we cannot look at the world in the eyes of the past, and it also means that we cannot use the methods of the past to solve the problems of the present. As sociology takes us to understand and explain the world, we begin to develop a spirit of no longer taking anything for granted.

Mr. Zheng Yefu also said in his speech that when we capture the various changes that have taken place in society, we begin to learn to reflect and analyze. Reflection can teach us that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to whatever we do or what problem we solve. Therefore, we can learn to explore and innovate from reflection.

1. Sociology is a social science that systematically studies social behavior and human groups, originated in the thirties and forties of the 19th century, and is a modern discipline that evolved from social philosophy.

2. Sociology is a discipline with multiple research methods, mainly involving the quantitative method of scientism positivism and the humanistic method of understanding, which are opposed to each other and interrelated, and jointly develop and improve a set of knowledge system about the structure and activities of human society, and use this knowledge to seek or improve social welfare as the main goal.

Sociologists' views on the place of sociology in the social sciences have also changed historically. Comte, for example, argues that the goal of sociology is the synthesis of all existing knowledge. He illustrates this synthesis in terms of the "three-stage" (theological, metaphysical, and empirical phases) and the scientific taxonomy (astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology, and sociology).

Regarding the relationship between sociology and other social sciences, Comte believed that the goal of sociology is the synthesis of all existing knowledge. He illustrates this synthesis in terms of the "three-stage" (theological, metaphysical, and real-fissure) and the taxonomy of science (astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology, and sociology). Spencer also believed that society is the synthesis or sum of various social sciences, and his Principles of Sociology included the study of various social sciences such as politics, economics, and religion.

Sociology is a kind of science that studies the first principles of society, and it is the fundamental science of various social sciences. Some Chinese scholars have put forward a view that is not exactly the same as the above'Opinion. In this view, the social sciences as a whole are broadly divided into three levels: general, special and individual.

Belonging to the first level is the philosophical science of historical materialism; The second level belongs to the comprehensive social sciences such as sociology and history; The third level is specialized social sciences such as economics, political science, education, and law.
