🌐 Введение в социологические теории

Этот параграф представляет собой вступление в лекцию о социологических теориях. Рассматриваются различные подходы и точки зрения, которые социологи используют для понимания и объяснения социального мира. Основные теории, такие как структурализм, функционализм, конфликтология и символическая интеракционизм, являются основными фреймворками для анализа социальных явлений. Также упоминается, что социологические теории развивались в ответ на социальные изменения, вызванные, например, индустриализацией, а также политическими и экономическими структурами, культурой и социальными нормами, социальными движениями и активизмом, а также технологией и глобализацией.

05:02

📚 Развитие социологических теорий

В этом параграфе описывается процесс развития социологических теорий, который можно разделить на три этапа: классическая социология (конец 19-го - начало 20-го века), современная социология (с середины 20-го века до настоящего времени) и современная социология (настоящее время). Каждый этап характеризуется различными подходами и методами. Ключевые социологи, такие как Эмиль Дюркгейм, Макс Вэбэр и Карл Маркс, заложили фундамент для развития теорий, которые до сих пор оказывают влияние. Также упоминается, что социологические теории продолжают развиваться и адаптироваться к изменяющимся условиям и вызовам.

10:04

🔍 Теоретические подходы в социологии

Параграф посвящен основным теоретическим подходам в социологии, таким как макроуровневные и микроуровневные теории, а также парадигмы, такие как структурный функционализм, конфликтология и символическая интеракционизм. Структурный функционализм сосредотачивается на том, как социальные структуры и институты способствуют обществу в целом, в то время как конфликтология анализирует, как власть и неравенство формируют социальные отношения и взаимодействия. Символическая интеракционизм, с другой стороны, акцентируется на взаимодействиях и обмене междуидивидуальных и значений, которые они приписывают этим взаимодействиям.

15:05

🌉 Применение теорий к анализу университетов

В этом параграфе рассматривается, как различные социологические теории могут быть применены для анализа университетов. Структурный функционализм рассматривает университеты как важные институты, которые поддерживают социальный порядок и готовят студентов к жизни в обществе. Конфликтология сосредотачивается на том, как университеты поддерживают неравенство и служат интересам могущественных групп. Символическая интеракционизм выделяет то, как университеты формируются и поддерживаются через индивидуальные взаимодействия и значения.

20:07

🏆 Заключение и дальнейшие исследования

Заключительный параграф подводит итоги лекции, подчеркивая, что различные социологические теории предоставляют уникальные способы понимания и анализа социального мира. Каждая теория вносит свой вклад в развитие социологии. Эти теории помогают нам лучше понять себя и других, а также стремиться к созданию более справедливого и равных обществ. Также упоминается, что продолжение изучения социологии и социальных наук может способствовать развитию глубокого понимания и взаимопонимания между людьми.

Highlights

Sociological theories are frameworks for understanding social phenomena and their operation within society.

Theories are based on perspectives including structural, functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic interactionism, and others.

Social changes, such as industrialization in the 19th century, have contributed to the development of sociological theory.

Political and economic structures, like Karl Marx's theory of class struggle, have influenced sociological theory.

Cultural and social norms, like Durkheim's collective consciousness, shape sociological theory.

Social movements and activism, including civil rights and feminism, have led to new sociological perspectives.

Technology and globalization are current influences on the development of sociological theory.

Sociological theories have evolved through stages including classical sociology, modern sociology, and contemporary sociology.

Classical sociology laid the foundation with key concepts by scholars like Durkheim, Weber, and Marx.

Modern sociology introduced new perspectives like structural functionalism and symbolic interactionism.

Contemporary sociology focuses on current challenges like globalization and environmental sustainability.

Theories vary in scope from macro level, relating to large-scale issues, to micro level, focusing on individual interactions.

Structural functionalism emphasizes the contribution of social structures and institutions to society's stability.

Conflict theory focuses on power, inequality, and the competition for resources in society.

Symbolic interactionism views society as constructed through ongoing processes of interaction and communication.

Each sociological theory offers a unique lens to understand and analyze the social world.

Sociological theories are valuable for understanding complex social phenomena and institutions.

The lecture concludes with an encouragement to further explore sociology and social sciences.

The lecture provides a list of terms and references for further study.

that sociologists use to understand and

play00:14

explain the social world around us

play00:17

the surgical theories are Frameworks for

play00:20

understanding social phenomena and how

play00:23

they operate within Society

play00:25

these theories are based on a wide range

play00:28

of perspectives including structural

play00:31

functionalism config Theory symbolic

play00:34

interactionism and others

play00:36

so let's dive into the fascinating world

play00:40

of physological theories there are

play00:43

several social forces that have

play00:45

contributed to the development of

play00:47

sociological Theory over time this

play00:50

includes social changes for example the

play00:54

surgical theory has developed in

play00:56

response to social change and challenges

play00:59

that arise from it

play01:01

for example the rise of in

play01:04

industrialization and organization in

play01:06

the 19th century led to new social

play01:09

problems and chilling challenges that

play01:12

required new ways of thinking about the

play01:15

understanding Society

play01:17

political and economic structures have

play01:20

also played a significant role in the

play01:23

development of socological theory for

play01:26

example Karl Marx's theory of class

play01:29

struggle and historical materialism was

play01:32

influenced by the economic and political

play01:34

structures of his time including the

play01:37

rise of industrial capitalism

play01:41

next one it's about culture and social

play01:43

norms

play01:45

cultural and social norms also shape the

play01:47

development of theological theory for

play01:50

example a majorheim's theory of social

play01:52

facts and the collective Consciousness

play01:55

was influenced by the cultural and

play01:57

social norms of French society during

play02:00

his time

play02:02

social movements and activism also

play02:06

contributed to the development of

play02:08

theological Theory for example the civil

play02:11

rights movement in the United States and

play02:14

the feminist movements have led to the

play02:16

emergence of New Perspectives and

play02:19

approaches within sociology and of

play02:22

course about technology technology and

play02:25

globalization are also shaping the

play02:27

development of theological theory in the

play02:29

present day for example sociologists are

play02:32

grappling with the impact of social

play02:34

media and digital Technologies on

play02:37

society as well as a challenges posed by

play02:40

global interconnectedness and cultural

play02:43

diversity overall social forces have

play02:46

played a crucial role in the development

play02:49

of theological Theory shaping the

play02:51

questions that Pathologists ask the

play02:54

methods they use and the perspectives

play02:56

they adopt a society continues to evolve

play03:01

and change

play03:02

sociological Theory will continue to

play03:04

develop and adapt in response to these

play03:07

social forces

play03:09

and now let's go to the next part it's

play03:14

the development of the surgical theories

play03:18

the development of socological theories

play03:20

can be broadly divided into several

play03:22

stages each characterized by different

play03:25

perspectives assumptions and methods

play03:28

these stages include classical sociology

play03:31

this stage covers a period from the late

play03:35

19th century to the early 20th century

play03:38

and is characterized characterized by

play03:41

the work of Scholars such as emelierheim

play03:44

Max Weber and Karl Marx

play03:47

this color slits the foundation for

play03:51

psychological theory by developing key

play03:53

Concepts and approaches that remain

play03:56

influential today

play03:58

next one is modern sociology this stage

play04:00

covers the period from the mid 20th

play04:03

century to the present day and is

play04:06

characterized by the emergence of New

play04:08

Perspectives and approaches this include

play04:11

structural functionalism symbolic

play04:14

interactionism feminism critical theory

play04:17

and postmodernism among others

play04:20

and last one contemporary sociology this

play04:23

stage covers the present day and is

play04:26

characterized by ongoing debates and

play04:29

discussions about the direction of

play04:31

socological theory contemporary

play04:33

sociologists are grappling with new

play04:36

challenges and issues such as

play04:38

globalization technology and

play04:40

environmental sustainability and

play04:43

developing New Perspectives and

play04:45

approaches to address these challenges

play04:48

throughout these stages psychological

play04:51

theories have continued to evolve and

play04:54

develop with new Concepts methods and

play04:57

approaches emerging in response to

play04:59

changing social conditions and

play05:02

challenges

play05:03

today socological theories remain a

play05:06

valuable framework for understanding and

play05:08

analyzing the complex social World in

play05:11

which we live

play05:13

now we can start to understand major

play05:17

theoretical perspectives

play05:19

theories vary in scope depending on the

play05:23

scale of the issues that they are need

play05:25

to explain

play05:27

macro level theories

play05:29

relate to large-scale issues and large

play05:32

groups of people while micro level

play05:35

theories look at very specific

play05:38

relationships between individuals or

play05:40

small groups

play05:42

and current theories attempt to explain

play05:45

large-scale relationships and answer

play05:48

fundamental questions such as why

play05:51

societies form and why they change

play05:55

sociological theory is constantly

play05:57

evolving and should never be considered

play06:01

complete classic psychological theories

play06:04

are still considered important and

play06:06

current but new psychological theories

play06:09

built upon the work of their

play06:12

predecessors and add to them

play06:15

there are several major surgical

play06:17

perspectives in sociology Each of which

play06:20

offers a distinct way of understanding

play06:23

the analyzing the social world

play06:26

at the same time in sociology a few

play06:29

theories provide broad perspectives that

play06:31

help explain many different aspects of

play06:34

social life and these are called

play06:36

paradigms

play06:38

products are philosophical and

play06:40

theoretical Frameworks used within a

play06:43

discipline to formulate theories

play06:46

generalizations and experiments

play06:49

performed in support of them

play06:52

strip projects have come to dominate the

play06:55

surgical thinking because they provide

play06:57

useful explanations it's structural

play07:01

functionalism

play07:02

conflict theory and symbolic

play07:04

interactionism

play07:07

and this table shows main points in

play07:11

psychological theories their level of

play07:13

analysis focus and gives example now

play07:17

let's try to understand them deeply

play07:22

structural functionalism also called

play07:25

functionalism Theory emphasizes the ways

play07:29

in which social structures and

play07:31

institutions contribute to the overall

play07:34

stability and functioning of society

play07:38

structural functionalists believe that

play07:41

each part of society plays a unique and

play07:45

important role and that social order is

play07:48

maintained throughout a system of shared

play07:52

values norms and beliefs

play07:56

structural functionalism sees society as

play07:59

a structure with interrelated Parts

play08:02

designed to meet the biological and

play08:05

social needs of the individuals in that

play08:08

Society

play08:09

also structural functional approach of

play08:13

use

play08:13

society as a complex

play08:16

interconnected system of parts that work

play08:19

together in harmony points to the

play08:22

importance of social structure any

play08:25

relatively stable pattern of social

play08:27

behavior

play08:29

looks for any structures social function

play08:33

the consequences of any social pattern

play08:36

for operation of society as a whole

play08:40

structural functionalists approach

play08:43

Society from a macro level perspective

play08:46

they view society and its pieces as a

play08:50

whole

play08:51

major theological thirsts or

play08:54

contributors to this theoretical

play08:56

approach include against

play08:59

Herbert Spencer Talcott Parsons Robert

play09:02

Martin

play09:04

and functionalism grew out of the

play09:09

writings of English philosopher and

play09:11

biologists Herbert Spencer who saw

play09:14

similarities between society and the

play09:17

human body

play09:18

he argued

play09:20

that just as the various organs of the

play09:23

body work together to keep the body

play09:26

functioning the various parts of society

play09:28

work together to keep Society

play09:31

functioning

play09:33

the parts of society that Spencer

play09:35

referred to whereas the social

play09:37

institutions

play09:39

or patterns of beliefs and behaviors

play09:41

focused on meeting social needs such as

play09:44

Government education Family Health Care

play09:48

religion and the economy

play09:52

and next one is Emilio Durham he applied

play09:55

Spencer's Theory to explain how

play09:58

societies change and survive over time

play10:01

you have believed that Society is a

play10:04

complex system of interrelated and and

play10:07

interdependent parts that work together

play10:10

to maintain stability

play10:12

and that Society is held together by

play10:15

shared values languages and symbols

play10:18

he believed that to study Society a

play10:22

sociologists must look Beyond

play10:23

individuals to social effects such as

play10:27

laws morals values religious beliefs

play10:31

Customs fashion and rituals which all

play10:35

serve to govern social life

play10:41

defined the function of any recurrent

play10:45

activity as a part of it played in

play10:48

Social Life as a whole and therefore

play10:51

their contribution it makes to social

play10:54

stability and continuity

play10:57

in a healthy Society all parts work

play11:00

together to maintain stability a state

play11:03

called dynamic equilibrium by later

play11:07

sociologists such as Parsons Durham

play11:10

believed that individuals may make up

play11:12

Society but in order to study Society

play11:16

sociologists have to look Beyond

play11:19

individuals to social facts each of

play11:22

these social facts serves one or more

play11:25

functions within a society

play11:27

for example one function of a society

play11:30

slows maybe to protect Society from

play11:34

violence while another is to punish

play11:37

criminal Behavior while another is to

play11:40

preserve Public Health

play11:43

and other notice structural

play11:45

functionalists it's Robert Martin he

play11:49

pointed out that social processes often

play11:52

have many functions its manifest

play11:55

function other consequences offer social

play11:58

processes that are suitable anticipated

play12:03

while Latin functions are the unsold

play12:06

consequences of a social process a

play12:10

manifest function of a college education

play12:13

for example includes gaining knowledge

play12:16

preparing for a career and finding a

play12:19

good job that utilized the that

play12:22

education latent functions of your

play12:24

college Years include meeting new people

play12:27

participating in extracurricular

play12:30

activities or even finding expose or

play12:33

partner

play12:35

another Latin function of education is

play12:37

creating a hierarchy of employment based

play12:40

on the level of Education attained

play12:43

Latin functions can be beneficial

play12:46

natural or harmful social processes that

play12:50

have undesirable consequences for the

play12:53

operation of society are called

play12:55

dysfunctions in education example of

play12:58

this function include getting bad grades

play13:01

truancy dropping out not graduating and

play13:05

not finding suitable employment

play13:08

the second main theory is conflict

play13:12

theory

play13:13

it emphasizes the ways in which power

play13:16

and inequality shape social relations

play13:20

and interactions

play13:22

at the same time this approach looks at

play13:25

society as a competition

play13:27

for limited resources

play13:30

conflict theorists believe that Society

play13:33

is characterized by conflict and

play13:35

competition between different groups and

play13:39

that social change occurs throughout

play13:41

struggles for power and resources

play13:44

for conflict approach

play13:46

Society is composed of unequal

play13:49

distribution of desired resources that

play13:52

benefit a minority that expense of the

play13:57

majority

play13:58

this unequal distribution of desired

play14:01

resources cause causes conflict within a

play14:04

society those that have their resources

play14:07

developed

play14:08

structures and methods to maintain these

play14:11

resources those that do not have the

play14:14

resources are always creating new ways

play14:17

to acquire resources hence this approach

play14:20

views Society in constant conflict

play14:24

major socological theorists or

play14:26

contributors to this surgical approach

play14:28

include cuddle marks

play14:31

Dubois right meals and Ralph darendorf

play14:36

this perspective is a macro level

play14:38

approach most identified with the

play14:41

writings of German philosopher and

play14:44

sociologists Karl Marx

play14:47

who's so society as being made up of

play14:51

individuals in different social classes

play14:53

who must compete for social material and

play14:58

political resources such as food and

play15:00

housing employment education and Leisure

play15:04

Time

play15:05

social institutions like government

play15:07

education and religion reflect this

play15:10

competition

play15:12

in their inherent inequalities and help

play15:15

maintain the unequal social structure

play15:19

some individuals and organizations are

play15:21

able to obtain they keep more resources

play15:24

than others and these winners use their

play15:27

power and influence to maintain social

the perpetuation of power results in the

play15:36

perpetuation of Oppression

play15:40

German sociologist Max Weber agreed with

play15:43

Marx but also believed that in addition

play15:46

to economic inequalities inequalities of

play15:49

political power and social structure

play15:52

cause conflict

play15:54

whoever noted that different groups were

play15:57

affected differently based on education

play16:00

race and gender and that people's

play16:03

reactions to an equality were moderated

play16:07

by class differences and rates of social

play16:10

Mobility as well as by perceptions about

play16:13

the legitimacy of those in power

play16:18

a reader of Marx York zimel believed

play16:21

that conflict can help integrate and

play16:25

stabilize a society

play16:27

he said that the intensity of the

play16:30

conflict varies depending on the

play16:32

emotional involvement of the parties the

play16:36

degree of solidarity within the opposing

play16:39

groups and the clarity and limited

play16:42

nature of the goals

play16:44

zimel also showed that groups work to

play16:48

create internal solidarity centralized

play16:52

power and reduce descent the stronger

play16:55

the boned the weaker the Discord

play16:58

resolving conflicts can reduce tension

play17:01

and hostility and can pave the way for

play17:06

future agreements

play17:08

uh next Theory it's symbolic

play17:10

interactionism

play17:12

theories symbolic interactionism

play17:15

this perspective emphasizes the ways in

play17:18

which individuals interact and

play17:20

communicate with one another and the

play17:23

meanings they attach to these

play17:25

interactions

play17:27

symbolic interactionists believe that

play17:29

social reality is constructed throughout

play17:33

the ongoing process of interaction and

play17:37

that individuals use symbols and

play17:39

language to create the interpret meaning

play17:42

social interaction approach is

play17:45

considered a micro level approach which

play17:48

is an individual level approach

play17:51

in symbolic interaction Society is

play17:53

viewed as an ongoing ever-changing

play17:56

events or drama the primary focus in

play18:01

this approach is communication and

play18:03

exchange of ideas using symbols in this

play18:07

approach Society is nothing more than

play18:10

the reality people construct for

play18:12

themselves as they interact with one

play18:15

another

play18:16

major sociological theorists or

play18:19

contributors to this surgical approach

play18:21

include Max Weber York Herbert Mead

play18:26

um Charles Horton Cooley Irving Goffman

play18:29

York homans and Peter blow

play18:33

symbolic interactionism focuses on the

play18:35

relationships among individuals within a

play18:38

society

play18:39

communication the exchange of meaning

play18:43

through language and symbols is believed

play18:46

to be the way in which people make sense

play18:49

of their social worlds

play18:51

theorists Hermann

play18:53

and Reynolds note that this perspective

play18:56

sees people as being active in shipping

play18:59

the social World rather than simply

play19:03

being acted upon your Herbert Smith is

play19:07

considered a founder of symbolic

play19:10

interactionism

play19:11

through though he never published his

play19:14

work on it

play19:16

meet student Herbert Bloomer coined the

play19:19

term symbolic interactionism and

play19:21

outlined these basic premises

play19:24

human interact with things based on

play19:27

meanings ascribed to those things

play19:29

the ascribed meaning of things comes

play19:33

from our interactions with others and

play19:36

Society

play19:37

the meaning of things are interpreted

play19:41

interpreted by a person when dealing

play19:44

with things in specific circumstances

play19:48

if you love books for example a symbolic

play19:51

internationist might propose that you

play19:54

learn that that books are good or

play19:57

important in the interactions you had

play20:00

with family friends school or church

play20:03

maybe your family had a special reading

play20:07

time each week getting your library card

play20:10

was treated as a special event or

play20:12

bedtime stories were associated with

play20:15

worms and comfort social scientists who

play20:19

applies symbolic interactionists

play20:20

thinking look for patterns of

play20:23

interaction between individuals their

play20:25

studies often involve observation of

play20:28

one-on-one interactions for example

play20:31

while a conflict theorist studying a

play20:33

political protest might focus on class

play20:36

difference a symbolic interactionist

play20:38

would be more interested in how

play20:40

individuals in the protesting group

play20:43

interact as well as the science and

play20:47

symbols protesters used to communicate

play20:50

their message the focus on the

play20:52

importance of symbols in building a

play20:55

society lets the soldiers like even

play20:57

government to develop a technique called

play21:01

dramaturgical analysis

play21:04

government used theater as an analogy

play21:07

for social interaction and recognized

play21:10

that people's interactions showed

play21:13

patterns of cultural Scripts

play21:17

he argued that individuals were actors

play21:21

in a play we switched roles sometimes

play21:24

minute to minute for example from

play21:27

student or daughter to Doc Walker

play21:30

because it can be unclear what part a

play21:33

person may play a given situation he or

play21:37

she

play21:38

has to improvise his or her role as a

play21:42

situation unfolds studies that use a

play21:46

symbolic interactionist perspective are

play21:48

more likely to use qualitative research

play21:51

methods such as in-depth interviews or

play21:54

participant observation because they

play21:57

seek to understand the symbolic worlds

play22:01

in which research subjects live now we

play22:04

can conclude our lecture as you see from

play22:07

previous slides structural functionalism

play22:10

conflict theory and symbolic

play22:12

interactionism are three of the most

play22:14

prominent socological theorists that can

play22:17

be used to analyze social world let's

play22:20

take as example universities and analyze

play22:23

them according to main theories in

play22:25

sociology

play22:27

structural functionalism

play22:29

views society as a system made up of

play22:33

interrelated parts that work together to

play22:36

maintain social balance we know it it

play22:38

sees institutions like universities as

play22:41

important parts of society that serve

play22:43

specific functions

play22:45

from this perspective universities play

play22:47

a crucial role in preparing students to

play22:50

be became productive members of society

play22:54

they also help to maintain social order

play22:56

by providing a common set of values and

play23:00

beliefs that guide Behavior

play23:02

according to structural functionalism

play23:04

universities are organized into

play23:06

different departments and disciplines

play23:08

each with its its own specific role and

play23:12

function for example the engineering

play23:15

department might be reasonable for

play23:17

producting graduate with technical

play23:19

skills that are in high demand in the

play23:23

job market while the humanities

play23:25

Department

play23:26

might be responsible for promoting

play23:29

crucial critical thinking and cultural

play23:32

awareness conflict theory view society

play23:35

as a system characterized by inequality

play23:38

and competition for resources we know it

play23:41

and it sees institutions like

play23:43

universities as tools of the powerful

play23:46

Elite that serve to maintain their

play23:48

dominance over the less powerful

play23:51

from this perspective universities are

play23:54

often seen as perpetuating social

play23:56

inequality by providing richer

play23:59

opportunities to those who already have

play24:02

advantages such as the wealthy and those

play24:05

from privileged backgrounds

play24:08

according to conflict theory

play24:10

universities are not neutral

play24:13

institutions but are instead shipped by

play24:16

power struggles between different groups

play24:19

for example wealthy donors May influence

play24:22

the curriculum or admissions policies to

play24:26

benefit their own interests additionally

play24:29

conflict theorists would argue that

play24:31

universities are not inequally equally

play24:34

accessible to everyone as tuition costs

play24:38

and other barriers May prevent some from

play24:41

attending how symbolic interactionism

play24:43

view the universities symbolic

play24:48

interactionism view society as a product

play24:50

of individual interactions relationships

play24:53

and meanings it sees institutions like

play24:56

universities as social constructions

play24:58

that are created and maintained through

play25:02

the interactions of the individuals who

play25:04

make them up from this perspective in

play25:07

versus are seen as places where

play25:10

individuals come together to create

play25:12

shared meanings and identities according

play25:16

to symbolic interactionism universities

play25:18

are not just places where knowledge is

play25:22

transmitted but also were individuals

play25:25

form their identities and sense of self

play25:28

for example students might develop a

play25:31

sense of belonging to a particular

play25:33

academic department or social group

play25:36

within the University

play25:38

additionally symbolic interactionists

play25:41

would argue that universities are shaped

play25:44

by the individual's actions individual

play25:47

actions of the people within them as

play25:50

students faculty and staff all

play25:53

contribute to the creation of the

play25:56

University

play25:57

universities culture and social norms in

play26:00

summary each of these surgical theories

play26:03

offers a different way of understanding

play26:06

universities

play26:07

structural functionalism emphasizes the

play26:10

importance of universities in

play26:12

maintaining social order and preparing

play26:15

students for their roles in society

play26:18

conflict theory focus on the ways that

play26:21

universities perpetuate inequality and

play26:25

serve the interests of the powerful

play26:27

symbolic interactionism highlights the

play26:29

ways that universities are shaped by

play26:32

individual interactions and meanings

play26:35

overall each of these perspectives offer

play26:39

offers a unique way of understanding and

play26:42

analyzing the social world and each has

play26:45

contributed to the development of

play26:47

theological theory in important ways

play26:50

while these perspectives May sometimes

play26:52

conflict with one another they also

play26:55

offer opportunities for dialogue and

play26:58

debate and for

play27:01

for the ongoing development of the

play27:03

surgical Theory today we have covered a

play27:06

lot of ground and I hope that the

play27:09

information that insights presented will

play27:13

be valuable to you in your future

play27:16

studies and work

play27:17

as we have explored different

play27:20

sociological theories and their

play27:21

applications to various aspects of

play27:24

society we have seen how diverse and

play27:27

complex our social world is these

play27:30

theories have provided us with different

play27:33

lenses to view

play27:35

and understand the social phenomena that

play27:38

shape Our Lives such as the institutions

play27:42

we participate in and in the

play27:45

relationships we form I hope that this

play27:48

lecture has sparked your curiosity and

play27:52

inspired you to further explore

play27:55

sociology and the social sciences by

play27:59

continuing to study and engage with our

play28:02

social world we can develop a deeper

play28:05

understanding of ourselves and others

play28:08

and work towards creating a more fair

play28:12

and equal Society
