Society
is in the eye of the beholder
|
.
| The
sociological perspective is firstly a perspective. |
.
| It
is a "way of looking at things," which we might see in a different way
in day-to-day or non sociological life. |
.
| The
sociological perspective is in the eye of the sociologist, sociology student,
or of whomever is looking at (beholding) society. |
.
| Maggie
Thatcher had a very atomistic perspective, just the opposite of a sociological
perspective, when she said, "There is no such thing as society, just individuals" |
.
| In
order to see and understand society, the observer must know what to look
for. |
.
| As
well as this sociological perspective, which contrasts with an atomistic
perspective, within sociology there are three very different classical
perspectives, conflict perspective, functionalist perpective and symbolic
interactionist perspective. |
