I think i met a sociology once it was nice but kept finding roundabout ways of asking me about my cultural ways :shrug:

sociology is the science of making broad assumptions about human systems from studying only college students who sign up ro be in sociology studies.

i wish sociology was psycho history, which I do believe will some day be possible, though never perfectly accurate

I'm p sure the cool kids call it "sosh."

I'm also p sure the cool kids are assholes.

Woah! just ran into an unexpected SA text replacement! The more you know, I guess.


Thanks to Manifisto for the sig!

intro to sociology is a great class to take if you want to get into binge-watching Netflix documentaries.

The gulf between hard neuroscience and psychology and sociology is so huge.

sociology looks at only the past few generations and tries to predict/analyze human behavior while ignoring almost all of human history before their narrow present day scope

anthropology is the study of humans and includes everything from prehistory to present day in an attempt to better understand human behavior, culture and society (:ssh: yes i was an anthro major)

I took a sociology course way back when (before the yob even existed :corsair:) and the professor mostly just gave us handouts detailing what would be on the test and then spent every class telling us about her world adventures in stdh making friends with "primitive tribes" of the world

she was your text book insufferable white lady

the worst part was she took attendance so no one could just skip out on her talking about how worldly she was for an hour out a stretch every day

sociology is a class of refuge for damaged gpas, changed majors, and broken dreams

a lot of the stuff is just common sense, or so some would say because they were able to attain prior knowledge somehow while others were not. it ain't fair but it's not something to be ashamed of. however, it's not right to assume that a lot of sociology is just common sense because of it.

it's a very easy class.

sociology is epic fail, stem for teh win

Sociology Major: Hmm, it says here in Dr. Goldsteinberg's book that Hitler is a bad man who killed lots of jews.

STEM Major: According to my Human Suffering Index algorithm *stem major does after image technique and simaltaneous starts hacking a laptop, drawing intersecting vertexes on a whiteboard and playing Battlefield 69* Hitler was actually a Great Guy, and never killed a single person. Maybe you'd know that if you weren't wasting your money getting a humanities degree.

I had to take a SOC 101 class as an elective for my degree and I ended up just doing the entire last project for my group and telling the professor that nobody did poo poo and I wrote the whole thing. I think that experience thought me more about sociology than the actual class.

sociology major here.

the majority of your entry level classes will be discussing the various answers to questions like "what's up?". primarily you'll start with answers such as "not much" or "the sky" which are fairly self-explanatory but eventually you'll move on to responses like "chicken butt" which are much more advanced

science can tell you the how, but sociology can tell you the why
