One of Weber's major contributions was the definition of social action as a behavior to which poeple give meaning. Social behavior is more than just action. People do things in a context and use their interpretive abilities to understand ad give meaning to their action. 2.The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis states that language provides the categories through which social reality is understood. In other words, Sapir and Whorf thought that language determines what people think because language forces people to perceive the world in certain terms. It is not that you perceive something first and then think of how to express it, but that language itself determines what you think and perceive. 3.The power of sociological thinking is that it helps us see everyday life in new ways. Sociologists question actions and ideas that most people take for granted. Peter Berger calls this process debunking. Debunking refers to looking behind the facades of everyday life. ... Sociologists look at the behind-the-scenes pattern and process that shape the behavior they observe in the social world. 4.The dominant culture is the culture of the most powerful group in society. It is the cutural form that receives the most support from major institutions and constitutes the major belief system. ... Subculture are the cultures of groups whose values and norms of behavior differ from those of the dominant culture. ... They may be indentifiable by their appearance or perhaps by language, dialet, or other cultural markers. 5.Taking the role of the other is the process of imagining oneself from the point of view of another. To Mead, role-taking is a source of self-awareness . ... In the imitation stage, children merely copy the behavior of those around tem. Role-taking in this phase is nonexistent because the child is simly mimics the behavior of those in the surrounding environment without much understanding of the social meaning of the behavior. 6.Religious rituals are symbolic activities that express a group's spiritual convictions. ... In Durkheim's view, religious rituals are vehicles for the creation, experssion, and reinforcement of social cohesion. ... Whether the rituals of a group are highly elaborate or casually informal, they are symbolic behaviors that freshen a group's awareness of its unifying beliefs. 7.The Enlightenment in 18th and 19th century Europe had an enormous influence on the development of modern sociology. Also known as the Age of Reason, the Enlightenment was characterized by the faith in the ability of human reason to solve society's problem. Intellectuals believed that there were natural laws and processes in society to be discovered and used for general good. 8.The sociological imagination is the ability to see the societal patterns that influence individual and group life. ... Sociology should be used, Mills argued, to reveal how the context of society shapes our lives. He descibed this as understanding the intersection between biography and history. Mills thought that to understanding the experience of a given person or group of people, one had to have knowledge of the social and historical context in which people lived. 9.A role is the expected behavior associated with a particular status. Thus, a role is a collection of expectations that others have for a person occpying a particular status. Statuses are occupied; role are acted or "played."Usually, people behave in their role as others expect them to, but not always. ... Some roles may clash with each other, a situation called role conflict, where two or more roles are associated with contradictory expectations. 10.According to symbolic interaction theory, human actions are based on the meanings we attribute to things and these meanings emerge through social interaction. ... Because roles are socially defined, they are not real like objects of things, but they are real because of the meanings people give them. ...For symbolic interactionists, meaning is constantly reconstructed as people act within their social environments. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.237.246 ※ 編輯: pinkpen13 來自: 140.112.237.246 (11/14 22:20)
