introduction to sociology now the second slide you will always see in these
videos
covers terms to now certain
terms or words that we're gonna be using throughout class they're going to be
really important are going to be jargon
that's language up the subject they're already talking about in class
now I'm not gonna go over every one of these in DEP because a lot of these
terms will actually be addressed in the rest videos
but I would say make sure that you copy these down highlight
bees make any notes for their own as you're entertaining
you notes for this video sup those are terms though sociology
social forces biography and sociological imagination
so let's get started now we talk about this I do you like to think about the
Simpson Simpson's for those of you who don't know is this cartoon that's still
on TV today
it is I think 26 or 27 years old there's that many seasons
that it's been our recurring in new episodes and
The Simpsons just like any TV show is a side
it's a group of people that can be studied and and so we're going to give
you your first definition literally look at what society is
and and this is probably the most important term
you will get our entire course a society
consists of three face aside much
must share the same geographical territory
now that could be a city that could be a region that could be a
community that could even be a country but a society has to all be in one
particular territory
it has to be under the same political authority the same kinder
government the same kinder political ruling body
and that there has to be the same
cultural expectations how you look act
how you speak how people communicate
the values that aside in the ass those three things need to be met
for a society to exist same geographical territory
same political authority and downing cultural
expectations that as a society we're gonna keep coming to that
through the entire course now what is sociology sociology
studies Humane Society so humans
site I am outside a human side and social behavior
and will highlight one more thing as scientific manner
so we're not just looking at our guy so that person gets ostracized because
they're wearing this type
close okay I'll that's interesting know we look at things scientifically we try
and get
as much data as possible to explain
house I dysfunction how different societies
class with one another you're saying human society
and social behavior behaviors people interacting with the site it's not about
one person that psychology sociology looking at
interaction group sewer look at two things social interaction
again how people relate to one another and social phenomena
various strange things to happen within society think that we can observe things
that you can record
up for instance they did a really great sociological experiment not too long ago
they
the took actor in a dress them up in in a homeless persons close
how to walk down a busy street SC and fall down for 10 like he was heard
did that know it today then they took that same actor dressed in their
really nice you man looked relieved important wealthy same thing happened
people were running it up
they were calling 911 they were a believes is
it was crazy this is a social phenomena its a
observable factory bet and human society not
even that necessarily Cingular one but in tired
event we're talking about the Industrial Revolution sup
next to me talk about sociological
imagination very important termines the ability to see the relationship between
individual experience and a larger
society a lot of times what happens to us
is perhaps what's this is back
its it's not just okay this is only happen to me it has to happen to anyone
else most the time happens to use because it's happening to other people
so for instance
if you were bi targeted
if you are seat as inferior
because our how much money your family make some say let's talk about well
right you may say okay
I'm getting targeted by this I am I made
feel inferior because I don't have a lot of money but that's
not just your individual experience lots of other people in multiple sizes
deal with that so sociological imagination when you're looking at how
society functions
putting something happens to you think about okay
that's not just happening to me it's happening in this largest side so we're
trying to also in sociology
connect individual experience that people have to you
that entire side now why do people stay sociology why are you taking this course
three main reasons really the firs
