Sociology is not just what a bunch of liberals say, nor is it what a bunch of conservatives say it is neutral and objective. Warning Not all sociologists are neutral, even though we are told that is what we should be or, at least, that is what we are suppose to aim for. Sociology is not just what people say. It is not just people s opinions. It is not just common sense.
Sociology is a science, a social science.
You are only one person on this planet of over six billion people, and while your personal viewpoint does contain some truth, not everybody sees things the same ways you do. You can use your sociological imagination to see things in new and expanded ways. You, as an individual, obviously have a huge impact on your own life. Do what you are supposed to, and you will be better off for it. But, you are not completely the master of your own fate.
