Chapter 1: The Sociological Perspective
Chapter Summary
This chapter explains what sociology is and how it is similar to and different from other social
sciences. The sociological perspective focuses on the intersection of biography and history. This
chapter also discusses the origins of sociology with a focus on European sociologists writing
about the Industrial Revolution and how sociology came to exist in the United States. The
chapter explores the contributions and debates of sociologists within the United States, including
the debate between pure sociology and social reform. The author then explains the three main
perspectives of sociology: symbolic interactionism, functional analysis, and conflict theory. The
chapter ends with a discussion of the contention between research and social reform and also the
influence of globalization on the field of sociology and how the author believes these two ideas
could shape sociology in the future.
