 1. Summary

Economic sociology studies the social aspects of economic phenomena. It explores how economic structures and institutions influence society and vice versa. Originating in the classical period, it has evolved into contemporary economic sociology, which examines modern social interactions related to economics. Key areas include analyzing the social consequences and significance of economic exchanges. This interdisciplinary field intersects economics and sociology, critiquing traditional economic models and exploring the impact of capitalism on society. It also overlaps with social economics, addressing economic and social intersections from various disciplines. Academic associations like SASE and ASA promote research in economic sociology. Online communities like ES/PE gather researchers interested in this field.

2. Interesting point.

Economic sociology, as an interdisciplinary field bridging economics and sociology, explores the connections between economic phenomena and social causation, providing research with diverse perspectives and methodologies. It critiques traditional economic models for overlooking crucial social factors, attempting to reinterpret traditional economic issues using sociological terminology. This reflects a demand for diversified analytical approaches.

3. Question

How does economic sociology help us understand social change and inequality issues? How are social movements and political participation influenced by economic structures and institutions? How does economic sociology explain and analyze the drivers and impacts of social change?

1. Summary Scientific method is a method of acquiring knowledge, a systematic mode of thinking and a means of research, which is used to solve problems, explore laws and test theories. The key processes include observing phenomena, constructing hypotheses, planning experiments, collecting data, analyzing results, and summarizing conclusions. The scientific method focuses on proof and repeatability, using experiments and observations to test hypotheses during research, and adjusting or confirming theories based on data. 2. Mention of new, interesting The debate between postmodernism and modernism has been going on for a long time, and they have done a lot of research to carry out this debate. Although this problem has been solved with the efforts of scientists, it also shows that the development of anything is not static, and only continuous exploration can make better progress. 3.

  summarize The scientific method is not a single recipe. It requires intelligence, creativity and imagination. In this sense it is not a blind standard or procedure, but more a way of thinking that encourages us to remain open and critical, constantly challenging and validating existing theories.

In this sense it is not a blind standard or procedure, but more a way of thinking that encourages us to remain open and critical, constantly challenging and validating existing theories. About the points I learned 1. The scientific method is based on careful observation and rigorous skepticism. This means that scientists should not readily accept any ideas or assumptions, but should always question and think critically about observational data. 2.Scientific inquiry is not merely the pursuit of truth, but the process of shedding inhibited skepticism and establishing reliable beliefs.

 Summary: Social stratification is a multidimensional concept encompassing the impact of factors such as wealth, income, race, education, and occupation on individuals' social status. In modern Western societies, social stratification is typically divided into upper class, middle class, and lower class, with each class further subdivided into smaller categories. Social stratification is not only about quantitative inequalities but also involves beliefs and attitudes toward social status. Within complex social structures, there exist various stratification phenomena, with the most privileged individuals and families enjoying disproportionate access to income, power, and other social resources. Social mobility refers to the movement of individuals, social groups, or populations between or within layers of the stratification system. Open stratification systems allow for mobility between individuals, whereas closed systems have minimal mobility, with social status often remaining uncha
