I classify Durkheim's sociologists into three groups: macro to micro, micro and macro, micro from macro. I did not put anyone into the macro or micro category. Everyone is caught in a group that I think is somewhere in between. In the macro-to-micro category, each sociological theory focuses on one of society's major problems and then continues to explain what to do inside the individual to achieve social progress I will. Durkheim's focus is that division of labor is the main cause of social problems (Berger 123).
The main problem of social theory in the 1980s was micro and macro, and how to adjust them. A common argument is that macro theory requires a micro-foundation that is required for (perhaps rational) individuals' stable preferences and behavior. Garfinkel's view of micro and macro is very different. Unlike the fundamental foundation, which is difficult but ultimately comforting society, the ethnological methodological approach is much more like the finding of subatomic states and quantum mechanics. Rational outlook Even if you look at the scale a bit, you can see the location of the structure even if it is inevitably more chaotic.

I was able to deepen my understanding of the new discovery and the structure of the society as a whole. Scientists can see how each person's actions help us understand its origin and development. However, many aspects of sociology are still controversial. One of the themes is the superiority of the structures and agents that affect human behavior.
Some scholars also place great emphasis on micro and macro issues in ethics, sociology, economics and philosophy. Therefore, various microscopic frameworks or macro frameworks have been proposed. Because the framework of micro, macro, and macro is diverse, the theme of the framework is difficult and full of difficulties. When discussing this topic, many scholars have learned that they have entered the complete jungle of concepts. First of all, different scholars usually have different views on concepts. Detailed analysis of differences among scholars is impossible in this chapter. Another difficulty is that academics in different academic disciplines explain the same topic from different angles. Although I forgot to mention important things, different scholars often use different words and terms to express basic concepts even in the same academic field.
