latter.\u003cbr\u003e The position is that although the parties involved in traffic accidents are individuals, there are other factors that influence the behavior of those individuals, that is, cause traffic accidents.\u003cbr\u003e These factors are beyond the control of the driver.\u003cbr\u003e These are conditions that already exist in a society, and the individual act of driving is carried out within these conditions.\u003cbr\u003e Sociology is interested in precisely these conditions.\u003cbr\u003e When people point out, \"It's because you drove badly,\" sociology examines whether there might be social factors, in addition to the person's negligence, that made driving that way inevitable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.5~6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Graduates entering society.”\u003cbr\u003e “That person is good at socializing.”\u003cbr\u003e “Return to society.”\u003cbr\u003e The first expression is a common phrase heard in university graduation speeches. \u003cbr\u003eThe second is an expression often used to describe someone who adapts well to the company.\u003cbr\u003e The third refers to cases where one is discharged or released from the military or prison.\u003cbr\u003e Looking at these expressions, we see that there is a distinct entity called society, distinct from schools, homes, the military, and prisons.\u003cbr\u003e However, schools, families, homes, the military, prisons, etc. are also part of the institutions and systems that make up society.\u003cbr\u003e Even though these institutions are also part of society, we insist on calling the places we go after leaving school, leaving family, leaving the military, leaving prison, \"society.\"\u003cbr\u003e It can be said that within a broad society, there is a narrow society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.17\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The representative concept that refers to these social forces studied in sociology is 'social structure'.\u003cbr\u003e In everyday life, we often come across the expression “the structure is solid.”\u003cbr\u003e Here, structure refers to something that has a frame, a skeleton. \u003cbr\u003eA building is a representative structure that is constructed sturdily by combining various materials.\u003cbr\u003e People entering a building are guided through the building's doors, hallways, etc.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, within the same building, people only walk along a certain path determined by the structure.\u003cbr\u003e A kind of regularity emerges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.29~30\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The first step toward exercising sociological imagination is social distancing.\u003cbr\u003e Familiar routines usually don't require explanation.\u003cbr\u003e But even things that seem so familiar that they seem natural, actions that seem clearly the result of personal choices, when we step back and look at them from a distance, we see a larger social context that was previously invisible, and we realize that enormous forces outside of the individual are influencing our choices.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.33\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sociology is a relatively young discipline. \u003cbr\u003eThe term \"sociology\" itself was first used in the 1830s, so its history is only about 200 years.\u003cbr\u003e The scholar who coined the term sociology is known to be the Frenchman Auguste Comte (1798-1857), and the honor of being the first sociologist naturally goes to him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.37\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e However, if suicide were entirely a personal act, it would be difficult to find consistency in the suicide rate of a society, with rates fluctuating over time and being higher in some years and lower in others compared to other societies.\u003cbr\u003e In this regard, Durkheim showed in his book “Suicide” published in 1897 that suicide is a social phenomenon caused by not only individual factors but also social factors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.51~52\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWeber's sociology is also called the 'sociology of understanding', and in this respect he shows characteristics that are different from those of the earlier sociologists.\u003cbr\u003e For him, understanding social behavior was not enough to simply observe the outward appearance of the behavior.\u003cbr\u003e Comte, Marx, Durkheim, and others, to varying degrees, made empirical and positive analysis of observable phenomena the core of their research methodology.\u003cbr\u003e However, in Weber's sociology, observation of the action itself is not sufficient.\u003cbr\u003e This is because social actions have a ‘subjective meaning’ in relation to other people.\u003cbr\u003e Even if an action appears to be the same on the surface, the subjective meaning of the action may be different, so in order to understand social action, the action must be related to the actor's experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.67~68\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eUltimately, we project the unbroken family that never existed into the past in the form of the Confucian traditional family, compare that image to the current family, and talk about the family's disintegration.\u003cbr\u003e If the families of the past were less harmonious and less structurally sound than the families of today, then the hypothesis of family collapse or dissolution is difficult to establish.\u003cbr\u003e It is reasonable to view the family not as collapsing but as changing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Director Bong Joon-ho of the film “Parasite,” novelist Park Hyun-wook of “My Wife Got Married,” and singer Jang Ki-ha all majored in sociology in college.\u003cbr\u003e They may humbly say that they did not study hard in college, but their work reveals deep sociological insight and reflection on society. \u003cbr\u003eIn particular, Park Hyun-wook's \"My Wife Got Married\" cleverly unfolds the story of a woman pursuing a polyandrous relationship by mobilizing key concepts and theories of family sociology.\u003cbr\u003e The study of sociology has exerted a unique power in the field of literature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---

What exactly does it study, and what practical applications does it have? \"Sociology for Beginners,\" as its title suggests, is a book that introduces sociology to the general public.\u003cbr\u003e This book provides a brief glimpse into the discipline of sociology, focusing on its core content, from its inception to its present state, the various sociologists who have made decisive contributions, the research methods primarily employed by sociology, and key issues of note in modern society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In particular, the ‘sociological imagination’ emphasized by the author is noteworthy.\u003cbr\u003e The pioneers of sociology introduced in this book teach us the essence of sociological imagination.\u003cbr\u003e They were caught up in the social upheaval and did not take it for granted, but recognized that it was fundamentally different from the previous social order. \u003cbr\u003eAnd by applying a new methodology called science, they attempted to come up with a new explanation that had never been attempted before, and this attempt is still being made by subsequent scholars.\u003cbr\u003e Taking a step back from reality and asking questions like this is the starting point of sociological imagination.\u003cbr\u003e The sociological imagination is a powerful cognitive tool that helps us discover order and regularity even in a rapidly changing society like ours, and helps us confront the anxiety about an unknown future.\u003cbr\u003e Even if you don't study or major in sociology, you will be able to gain a lot of 'sociological imagination' from this book. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 30, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 212 pages | 348g | 145*215*14mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788954768504\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8954768504 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43894441869354,"sku":"141140","price":23.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/5b3170de3c6318db86dab843256f2b38.jpg?v=1765433478","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/141140","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
