【Week 3.2 March 22(Fri)】——Cheng Yating
1)Summary
I learned various sociological theories,
which are frameworks or perspectives used by sociologists to understand and
interpret social phenomena. It covers major theoretical perspectives in
sociology, including structural functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic
interactionism, feminist theory, and postmodernism. Each theoretical
perspective offers unique insights into the social world, focusing on different
aspects such as social structure, power dynamics, symbolic interaction, gender
relations, and cultural meanings. In addition, it discusses the key concepts, assumptions,
and contributions of each theoretical perspective, as well as their
applications in sociological research and analysis.
2)Interesting
One interesting aspect mentioned is the
concept of postmodernism, which I learned when I studied literature in China. Postmodernism
challenges traditional notions of truth, objectivity, and reality in
sociological inquiry, and emphasizes the diversity of human experiences, the
fluidity of social identities, and the complexities of language and discourse
in shaping social realities. This highlights the evolving nature of
sociological theory and the importance of considering multiple perspectives in
understanding contemporary social issues.
3)Discussion
How can sociologists integrate insights from
multiple theoretical perspectives to develop a more comprehensive understanding
of complex social processes?
