Explain the difference between a “common sense” view and a “sociological” view of human behavior, giving relevant examples. Sociology is a social science that allows people to understand the structure and dynamics of society. . By using a scientific approach and critically analyzing society using qualitative and quantitative methods, sociologists can find patterns and connections within human behavior to explain how society affects people. Sociological opinions are based on theories that have been tested through unbiased research and attempt to take all values ​​into account. Common sense theories are generally individualistic and naturalistic hypotheses based on opinions that may vary depending on an individual's social class or cultural background. During this essay, I will aim to provide examples of the differences between the sociological view and the common sense view of human behavior, using the theories of some renowned sociologists. In 1959, American sociologist Charles Wright Mills wrote his influential book "The Sociological Imagination." . In the book, Mills proposed that perhaps the most useful part of his theory of sociological imagination was differentiating problems within society between "personal problems of settings" and "public problems of social structure ". According to him, "personal problems" were individualistic and depended "on the character of an individual and on the limited areas of social life of which he is directly and personally aware." In contrast, his ideas about "public issues" were that they were more general issues, which concerned only one individual and would affect more than one person. He used the example of unemployment to further his sociological point of view. H... middle of paper... things cannot be explained clearly to the most intelligent man if he is firmly convinced that he already knows, beyond the shadow of a doubt, what is offered to him. I think this quote fits perfectly into this essay because sociologically you can teach something that has been scientifically examined to someone who has no knowledge of the subject, but trying to explain the same thing to someone 'one who has prior knowledge or common sense. , is not always that simple.MacDonald, M. 2011.
