How the Study of Sociology Helps us to Understand Different Societies

Sociology allows us to understand how different groups of people act

the way they do, and also brings us into their cultures, heritage and

different backgrounds. This study also explains how culture plays a role in

the way different groups act, and how it reflects on their society. There

are many social issues that sociology explains, such as how larger social and

historical forces effect the way the communities act and how individuals

act. All of these topics stress how important sociology is today, and how

much of a difference it makes in the understanding of different societies.

In today?s society people are influenced by the way other people live,

and the way people carry out their lives. Other people like to fallow other

peoples values, morals, and how they carry out their responsibilities. All of

these things effects the way an individual lives, and acts, for instance if

people go to school to get an education and get a well paying job. Many

people are going to do the same thing just to be in the same class and

society, and make the money to have what everyone else has. The

importance of education in today?s world is very important in getting that

job that pays exceptional well. In today?s society people go to school get a

good job and a few years after getting established they start a family. In

the past people sometimes graduated highschool and starting a family was

more important then getting that well paid job.

There are many benefits in having an social imagination. With the

imagination people know how to live their lives, and know how to fit in to a

group. They fit into a group to feel welcomed and not like an outsider.

Feeling part of a group also give a person self confide...

up cloths then I assume that their not wealthy, dirty, and doesn?t like to

take care of them selves. This judgment of others is bad because I know

from experience. I wear nice cloths and try to look good all the time but I

am not rich or that wealthy. I know kids from my high school who wear

worn, beat up cloths that are really rich, and they wear those cloths

because that?s their style of living. It could be their culture in a sense but

they are just being them selves.

With out the study of sociology many people wouldn?t know where to

begin in how to understand how a society works. The examining of how the

culture works and functions helps us to get a feel of how the different

cultures relate to each and every one?s society. Through this study we get

a whole new view on how the world is oriented on culture and how every

society acts.
