Interests in Sociology

I'm interested in Sociology because it opens new ways to see the world. Grounding your perspective on social facts, analysis and observation, makes the study of Sociology exciting and interesting. This blog will capture the excitement of Sociology as described in the text Sociology the Essentials, by M. Anderson and H. Taylor. I hope you will learn some new insight from this post.

This blog will stick to four topics, Culture and the Media, Deviance and Crime, Global Stratification, and Sexuality. Discussing key points like, folkways and norms of society, the definitions of deviance and criminal deviance, power and influence, and the social basis of sexuality. I chose these topics because they are part of everyday life in almost every culture. I look forward to posting information on this site as it becomes available.
