Social problems and Sociology The relationship between the academic discipline of sociology and social policy has always been a close one. Auguste Comte saw this discipline as: "part of a determinate pattern of historical change. Once the sociologist had discovered laws of such change it was his task to use the discovery in order to mastermind the political course of 'social regeneration". The use of Within sociology there are a number of disputes concerning the 'proper' methods of studying social life, the status of the knowledge gathered, and the uses to which it can or should be applied. At least initially I want to ignore these differences, even though they are very important, and simply present a best possible scenario of what sociology might offer us in any investigation of a social problem'. A difficulty with social scientific, or indeed everyday 'commonsense' investigations of, or proffered solutions to, 'social problems' is that the problem itself has already been perceived. It's a problem because it has been defined as a problem.

Evolution menschlicher Gesellschaften
Somewhere in Africa, sometime about 6 million years ago, in a routine evolutionary event, a population of great apes became reproductively isolated from its conspecifics. This new group evolved and split into still other groups, leading eventually to several different species of bipedal ape of the genus Australopithecus . All of these new species eventually died out except one that survived until about 2 million years ago, by which time it had changed so much that it needed not just a new species designation but a new genus designation, Homo. Compared with its australopithecine forebears-who were four feet tall with ape-sized brains and no stone tools - Homo was larger physically, had a larger brain, and made stone tools. Before long, Homo began to travel the globe widely, although none of its early forays out of Africa succeeded in establishing any populations that survived permanently.
Then, somewhere still in Africa, sometime about 200,000 years ago, one population of Homo began on a new and different evolutionary trajectory. It began living in new ways in Africa and then spread out across the world, outcompeting all other papulations of Homo and leaving descendants that are known today as Homo sapiens . The individuals of this new species had a number of new physical characteristics, including somewhat larger brains, but most striking were the new cognitive skills and products they created:

During the opening months of World War II, almost 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of them citizens of the United States, were forced out of their homes and into detention camps established by the U.S. government. Many would spend the next three years living under armed guard, behind barbed wire. This exhibit explores this period when racial prejudice and fear upset the delicate balance between the rights of the citizen and the power of the state.

Chamlee-Wright, Emily. 1997. The Cultural Foundations of Economic Development: Urban Female Entrepreneurship on Ghana. London and New York: Routledge. ISBN 0-415-16994-1 Details matter. Emily Chamlee-Wright gives us important details about women selling goods in the street stalls of Ghana, explaining how cultural meanings and government policies have influenced these small entrepreneurs. The big picture matters, too. For Chamlee-Wright, the big picture is cultural economics; we need to study culture if we hope to have a satisfactory theory of economic development. Her details support her big picture, and her big picture is illustrated by her details. The overall result is impressive and persuasive. The book is thoroughly enjoyable. The women Chamlee-Wright discusses sell services or small inexpensive goods from street stalls. One sells small bags of rice, another is a seamstress, a third trades cloth, and so on. Formal laws and cultural habits determine their opportunity sets. Relatively loose marital ties, for example, allow them financial autonomy, but reduce the support they may expect from their husbands. Those choosing to live with their husbands may get more child support, but their husbands "are more likely to extract financial resources and unpaid domestic services from their wives" (p. 123). In these cultural conditions, many women choose independence from their husbands and reliance on one another. They form small business collectives known as susu. "Trust and reputation are the essential elements in all of [these] informal arrangements, as this reinforces a system of reciprocal behavior" (p. 140).

B.Soc.Sc Degree (General) Culture and Media Studies Some fundamental hallmarks of the new world are the vital presence of transnational media, the importance of knowledge, proliferation of cultures and habits that revolve around markets of consumption, and senses of body and self claiming to break all conventions yet maintaining strong ties with the past. This stream of study offers a fertile range of courses for understanding contemporary media and culture. You will be exposed to related classical as well as cutting edge sociological and anthropological theories. You will also face a series of intriguing questions and find ways to provide intelligent answers to them: How does the growth of the new global media of communication transform the way we live and think? Why do modern people eagerly consume things which are apparently 'useless'? Why do people eat less nowadays when they have the unrecedented ability to eat more? Does religion serve any function in the age of electronic games and the internet? Do women still cry more? Do men still care less? Is sex fulfilling? In what sense? Besides debating important theories and asking big questions, we strongly emphasize the need to understand culture and media through direct experience and concrete study. Thus several courses focus on the Asia-Pacific region, in particular Hong Kong and the Guangdong province. Many also emphasize a hands-on approach, encouraging students to learn the issues through field projects and site visits.

What this handout is about …
What is sociology, and what do sociologists write about?
So, just what is a sociological perspective? At its most basic, sociology is an attempt to understand and explain the way that individuals and groups interact within a society. How exactly does one approach this goal? C. Wright Mills, in his book The Sociological Imagination (1959), writes that "neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both." Why? Well, as Karl Marx observes at the beginning of The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte ( 1852), humans "make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past." Thus, a good sociological argument needs to balance both individual agency and structural constraints. That is certainly a tall order, but it is the basis of all effective sociological writing. Keep it in mind as you think about your own writing.
Key assumptions and characteristics of sociological writing
What are the most important things to keep in mind as you write in sociology? Pay special attention to the following issues:

The word culture comes from the Latin root colere, (to inhabit, to cultivate, or to honor). In general it refers to human activity; different definitions of culture reflect different theories for understanding, or criteria for valuing, human activity. In 1952 Alfred Kroeber Alfred Louis Kroeber (June 11, 1876 - October 5, 1960), born Hoboken, New Jersey, USA, was one of the most influential figures in American Anthropology in the first half of the twentieth century. He received his doctorate under Franz Boas at Columbia University in 1901, basing his dissertation on his field work among the Arapaho. He spent most of his career in California, primarily at the University of California, Berkeley. The anthropology department's headquarters building at the University of California is known as Kroeber Hall.

Cultural bias
Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition Cultural bias is interpreting and judging phenomena in terms particular to one's own culture. This is a danger in any field of knowledge that claims objectivity and universality, such as philosophy Philosophy is the critical study of the most fundamental questions that humankind has been able to ask. Philosophers ask questions such as
  • Metaphysics: What sorts of things exist? What is the nature of those things? Do some things exist independently of our perception? What is the nature of space and time? What is the nature of thought and thinking? What is it to be a person? What is it to be conscious? Is there a god?

The problem of cultural bias is central to social and human sciences, such as Economics Economics is a social science that studies human behavior and welfare as a relationship between ends socialy required and scarce means which have alternative uses (Lionell Robbins, 1935). That is, economics is the study of the trade-offs involved when choosing between alternate sets of decisions, considering collective and individual benefits. Understanding choice by individuals and groups is thus central in economics. With scarcity, choosing one alternative implies foregoing another alternative; economists refer to the best alternative forgone by taking another choice as the opportunity cost. For instance, learning one skill implies time not spent learning another. In a market setting, scarcity is often quantified by price relationships.

BENEDICT ANDERSON
Imagined Communities Chapter 1: Introduction Nationality, nation-ness, and nationalism are cultural artifacts whose creation toward the end of the 18th C was the spontaneous distillation of a complex ''crossing'' of discrete historical forces; but that, once created, they became ''modular,'' capable of being transplanted to a great variety of social terrains, to merge and be merged with a variety of political and ideological constellations. Theorists of nationalism have encountered three paradoxes: (1)The objective modernity of nations in the eye of the historian vs. their subjective antiquity in the eye of nationalists. (2) The formal universality of nationality as a socio-cultural concepts vs. the particularity of its concrete manifestations. (3) The political power of nationalism vs. its philosophical poverty. In order to address some of these problems, Anderson proposes the following definition of nationalism: it is an imagined political community that is imagined as both inherently limited and sovereign. It is imagined because members will never know most of their fellow-members, yet in the minds of each lives the image of their communion. It is limited because it has finite, though elastic boundaries beyond which lies other nations. It is sovereign because it came to maturity at a stage of human history when freedom was a rare and precious ideal. And it is imagined as a community because it is conceived as a deep, horizontal comradeship.

Culture and Social Behavior
T. Gopinathan
Culture and social behavior are closely connected. Varying cultures of different human societies impose patterns of social behavior on the basic animal nature of humans. The result varies from person to person, with animality dominant in the behavior of some and acquired human traits more evident in the behavior of others. You would have met persons who behaved in ways that made you feel ten feet tall, and also persons who had left you feeling small and insignificant. In this essay, we seek the help of the science of sociology to explain these wide variations in human social behavior. Modern sociology says that there is no instinctive basis for human social behavior. Humans do not automatically learn how to behave properly in a social setting. Sociology recognizes that some drives exist, such as hunger, thirst, need to defecate, and so on. Such drives produce only simple behavior, and cannot explain the complexity of human social behavior. Sociology considers human social behavior as something that involves much learning, and little of instincts.
Human Social Behavior
A closer look at instinct driven behavior might help us understand this viewpoint better. For this, we can look at animal behavior, which is mostly controlled by instinct. A common example used is that of the weaverbird. This bird builds one particular kind of complex nest, year after year, in the same manner and at about the same time of the year. It cannot build another kind of nest and it cannot choose not to build the nest one year. In the case of humans, they can choose to ignore even such basic instincts as the mothering instinct. They might choose not to have any children, or not to look after their children. They can also choose to do things in radically different ways. For example, some choose to marry from their own sex.

Notes on Theodore Adorno's Introduction to the Sociology of Music
Larry Nelson
Adorno's initial definition of the Sociology of Music is ". . . knowledge of the relation between music and the socially organized individuals who listen to it" (p. 1). Later, he suggests that ". . . a finished musical sociology should take its bearings from the social structures that leave their imprint on music, and on what we call musical life in the most general sense" (p. 219). He is interested in, among other things, the relation between "productive forces" and "circumstances of production." In the realm of music, "productive forces" can refer to:
  • the activity of composing. the "work of living reproductive artists." technology as applied to music production and distribution.
The "circumstances of production" are:
  • the economic and ideological conditions to which musical "events" are tied. the musical mentality and taste of audiences (and, presumably, performers and producers).
Adorno asserts that "works [of music, and perhaps art in general] are objectively structured things and meaningful in themselves, things that invite analysis and can be perceived and experienced with different degrees of accuracy" (p. 3). Based on this view, he suggests seven "ideal types" of listeners, organized according to the "adequacy" of their hearing:
  • the expert listener is characterized by entirely adequate hearing, or "structural hearing. In other words, they can recognize and identify the formal, compositional elements of the piece. "He [the listener] hears the sequence, hears past, present, and future moments together so that they crystallize into a meaningful context."

From the Publisher: "This is a powerful claim on behalf of reuniting what has been separated since the beginning of the sociological venture: shapes of acts and their meanings, descriptions of human deeds and their comprehension, the this-worldly and the transcendental, religion and reason, values and facts, the poetry of culture and the prose of the mundane. This claim has been made with the hope of liberating the knowledge of things human from its service to a power that too often struggles to liberate itself form the ethical bonds of humanity. A commanding claim that makes for fascinating reading." Zygmunt Bauman, author, "Modernity and the Holocaust"
