A Sociology of Stories

Introduction Recently, "story" has shifted to the central stage of social thinking. In anthropology, stories are a way to understand culture, psychology is a way of understanding identity, history provides a reason to understand the past, psychoanalysis provides "the truth of the story" for analysis I will. On the philosophical side, they form the basis of a new form of "world manufacturing" and it is the key to creating a community (p. 333). A sociologist may be the last person to grab this "moment of the story". In fact, sociology is closely related to gathering stories from other people (such as in an interview) and storytelling (about modernity, class, d).

Sociology rarely afflicts readers. Max Weber and Emile Durkheim are not known for their tears of writing. However, Robert Putnam's "Our children: America's dream in the crisis" is a sociological story, a tragedy, and a social solidarity. This is the highest academic record featuring excellent judgment and generosity. And the greater the impact of this book, the more fair and generous our country will be. This is usually the way poor children in "our children" express inequality, carelessness, loneliness, loneliness, broken trust, etc. in the chart of Putnam. Rich parents' children - as children do well - when they have problems, they are surrounded by a network of parents, mentors, counselors, mentors, young pastors and coaches who will minimize adverse effects Keep them away from future problems. When poor children are in trouble, the airbag will not inflate.

Sociology has some background knowledge. At the beginning of the last century Georg Semel wrote a series of essays on a wide variety of characters ("strangers", "intermediaries", "traitors") that provides a way to tie micro and sociology together. Macro Level of Social Life He calls these roles the ideal type. It is not because they are perfect, because they are based on the domain of thought. These ideal types require real-world applications. Simmel sees them as a way to see how sociologists shape them through larger structural problems. (See here for sociological usage of roles.)

It also includes links to the latest news articles featured by sociological work and some sociological insights that may cause widespread concern.

These problems are related to the behavior of researchers in collecting empirical data and reporting the results. However, questions about socialist professional behavior are different from those of sociological studies.
