Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
Ms. Pendo: In modern society, the word on sociology must be well spread, but many fail to understand its core meaning; therefore, I would like to hear your ideas on that concept and how it emerged in the entire social context. Also, many people relate to it differently, and thus it is a discipline that already exists, and people are aware of it. Therefore, in this discussion, we will analyze the full features and concepts of it. 1. What is sociology? 2. When did Sociology emerge as a discipline? 3. What were the main influences on the rise of sociology? 4. Is Sociology a social science? 5. What methods does Sociology depend on for social research? (Qualitative or quantitative?) 6. Why is Sociology important to organizations? 7. How do sociologists use the internet? #sociologysunday
Sam A1: I believe that sociology entails the core studies found in human behavior mostly on how human beings relate socially, their critical patterns found in the social relationships and interactions. All the essential features get adopted in the cultures found in the modern surroundings of the human lives. #sociologysunday
Mary A1: Sociology is the modern concept that focuses on the social life experiences that have specific causes and consequences regarding the human choice of certain adaptable behaviors. #sociologysunday
Joy A6: It is imperative to organizations since it grants them the full chance of understanding people's behavior quickly to relate with them well enough. #sociologysunday
Mary A6: People get to relate with one another easily for better work performance. #sociologysunday
Mercy A3: Even as sociology has adopted a significant forefront level globally, I believe that there have been certain factors unto its emergence (Giddens 2001). They entail the contemporary issues and movements inclusive of modernity, capitalism, urbanization, rationalization, secularization, colonization, and imperialism. #sociologysunday
Sam A3: [Retweeted Mercy's tweet] the entire ideology is valid, with the movements of knowledge and science taking the forefront unto the issues attributed. #sociologysunday
JoyA3: Sociology has actively been influenced by the changes in the world concerning the human behaviors and adaptable features found. #sociologysunday
John A2: It emerged as a discipline in the late 19th Century, where most deliberations took place to help ascertain modern ideologies' core interests. It constituted all the socialization units and core institutions that would emphasize the modernity concept in consideration of sociology terms. #sociologysunday
Lucy A2: From the research details, it seems to have existed during the colonial days, and colonial powers to form individual states. #sociologysunday
Mercy A2: [Retweeted John's tweet] Indeed, in the late 19th Century where there were visible political philosophies unto the modern convergence systems required. #sociologysunday
Lucy A4: Yes, sociology is a social science #sociologysunday
MaryA4: In all considerations, it is a social science since it covers all the social aspects based on how human beings get to live and relate with one another. #sociologysunday
Mercy A4: I strongly support the fact that sociology is a social science since it uses all the scientific methods to help relay all the public aspects of society. #sociologysunday
Sam A4: No, I do not support the fact that it is a social science since it also covers many aspects found in the political and economic aspect; therefore, I feel it is an all-round science on all features affecting human beings (Halsey 2004). #sociologysunday
Sam A5: Sociologists entirely depend on the quantitative research methods that encompass the trial and error techniques for the research information. #sociologysunday
Joy A5: It is all about the quantitative techniques, mostly in the societal framework. #sociologysunday
John A5: [Retweeted Joy's tweet] I support the quantitative scheme for the experiments, surveys, field research, and critical analysis. #sociologysunday
Sam A7: Sociologists use the internet to advise the people on how to live with one another based on a peaceful aspect. #sociologysunday
John A7: It makes them understand human beings' behaviors and have an overview of their interactions in society. #sociologysunday
Ms. Pendo: Thank you, everyone, for participating in the chat and airing out your views based on the talk on sociology. I fully appreciate every effort made in giving positive responses. #sociologysunday
