W2 links deal with sociological methods and theory. And I summarize it. Sociological methods are similar to scientific method. Scientific method is to rely on careful characterization of the investigation. Essential element of scientific method are characterization, hypothesis, prediction, testing. There are four integrated to the next step in the process is the main ingredient research. Define, conduct, formulate, design, select, operationalize, identify, collect, analyze, reporting. This scientific process is repetitive. And sociological theory include seven theory. Structural-functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic interactionism, role theory, social constructionism, feminist theory, integration theory. To summarize these theory, functionalism each was originally a biological need collective as a means to meet the social system tried to explain the sociological theory. Conflict theory claim that society is made up of individuals competing for limited resources. Symbolic interactionism is theoritical approach that understand society with relationship. The basic notion of this theory claim is only the interaction of human behavior that would mean communication and understanding through exchanges of symbols. Role theory is that society is formed by people given proper role in social expectation. Social constructionism focus on the analysis of cause and effect. Feminist theory claim that women were ignored, barred and persecuted but women have contributed to scientific disciplines, methods, and theories. Integration theory is combining model that is useful for explaining social phenomenon.
As I read this soiological methods and theorys, I feel like I'm more mature. I want to learn about a large amount of society knowledge. So, I expect Piotr Konieczny's class.
