I: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to today’s discussion on sociology. Today we are very happy to have Professor Jessica Wilson, an expert in this area, to discuss with us.
W: Thank you. Pleased to meet you.
I: Prof. Watson, first of all, what is sociology?
W: Well, sociology is often described as the study of human social relations, or the science of society, and lays claim to almost the whole of human life beyond the biological level, because virtually all human activities possess a social aspect. In other words, people interact with, and are influenced by, other people.
I: Then what do sociologists study?
W: By analyzing and theorizing about the social aspects of human activity, sociologists have developed a number of important concepts. The most comprehensive of these concepts are the sociological definitions of society and culture.
I: To be specific?
W: Society refers to all the social relations and groups formed by human beings. So societies are viewed as a single unit The term culture, on the other hand, refers to how people learn from other people. This includes the way in which people think, feel and act. Therefore, the study of culture includes non-social skills, such as know to plant crops, drive a car, play the violin, and so on. However, sociologists are only concerned with the social relationships, and not the activities themselves.
I: I see. Are there any basic concepts of sociology?
W: Yes. Social interaction, or the mutual responses of two or more individuals, is perhaps the most basic sociological concept, for such interaction is the elementary component of all the relationships and groups constituting human society. Sociologists who concentrate on the details of particular interactions as they manifest themselves in everyday life are sometimes called micro-sociologists, whereas those concerned with the broader pattern of relations among large organizations, such as those composing the state and the economy, and even among entire societies, are called macro-sociologists.
I: So there are two types of sociologists, micro ones and macro ones.
W: This is only a rough division. Some sociologists study how people avoid bumping into each other on the street or how they open and close telephone conversations. Other sociologists study world-systems, or the entire range of economic, political, and other interdependencies among all peoples on Earth. Most sociologists, however, study social phenomena falling somewhere between these two extremes.
