New/Interesting
things I learned
I think just that I will have sociology
knowledge through study sociology.
However, I realized that learning could
lead to language ability and powerful communication skills.
Also, sociology graduates thought only
classical careers like sociologists.
But, there were many things that I didn’t
think, such as marketing promotions, and international projects, etc..

Discussion
point
The theory
of sociology is incredibly numerous and field is very diverse. As a student of
social studies, probably I can’t study all of them. And then, I’m going to
study only some of the most influential theories of sociology, and I wonder if
this is the right thing to do. People think that the famous theory is right
thing, and not famous theory may not incorrect thing. I would like to think
more about this.

ReplyDeleteCertainly, it is not the right thing. But I think that there is a reason why particular theories are discussed among a lot of sociologists. They will be the most influential of many theories because they demonstrate society phenomenon and directly help to solve society problems.
ReplyDeleteYou can not study all sociological theories as you say. So it is right to learn influential and famous sociological theories. However, because it is not famous, it may not be a sociological theory which is not right, and if it is famous, it can not be concluded that it is the right sociological theory unconditionally. As time goes by, some sociological theories are gone and some are new. So I think it is better to learn from influential theories and then study more intensively.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I agree with your opinion that People think that the famous theory is right thing,
ReplyDeleteand not famous theory may not incorrect thing. People seem to be inclined to pay attention to more famous opinions. But I don't think this is a desirable attitude, through Karl Popper's falsificationism, we can learn a desirable attitude. *He argued that even though it was long regarded as a representative theory of scientific research, it should try to continually discover the problem, not its merits. And when the problem was really discovered, we should discard existing theories without hesitation and seek new alternatives.

Although Popper's theory is about scientific research, It can be a good example for us to constantly explore existing knowledge, without attitude that existing knowledge is absolute.
I have never studied deeply in sociology, so I think I have never thought about it before, but I think it's very astute.
ReplyDeleteAs you said, we can't learn all the sociological theories, and once we learn about the famous sociological theory, we find ourselves interested in learning more and more about the subject of interest. So I personally think that the interest in sociology can really solve this problem.
