A sociologist is a bit of political scientist, philosopher, and psychologist. To understand people, you look at everything, so you also become a theologian, a student of comparative religion, and an economist. You become a statistician, an anthropologist, and a master at regional cultures. You can t help but notice people. You observe them then understand them by matching up key environmental factors.
Good sociologists are people who see the world through four years of theories and studies.
They make intelligent conclusions about cultures, politics, and social issues, then go on to make helpful contributions to society. To have such training and be a writer too is, for me, the perfect marriage of thought and expression. I both see and understand what I see. There is much less chaos in the world through my eyes. As the new Non-Fiction editor, you will read articles I have hand selected that reflect various world views.
