	Articles - Sociology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Sociology is interested in our behavior as social beings; thus the sociological field of interest ranges from the analysis of short contacts between anonymous individuals on the street to the study of global social processes.
		Sociology as a scientific discipline emerged in the early 19th century as an academic response to the challenge of modernity: as the world was becoming smaller and more integrated, people's experience of the world was increasingly atomized and dispersed.
		In 1919 a sociology department was established in Germany at the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich by Max Weber and in 1920 in Poland by Florian Znaniecki.

	Sociology
		Sociology and Society is a series of four textbooks designed as an introduction to the sociological study of modern society.
		It is argued that whereas Habermas' understanding of sociology is predicated on a combination of the etatist rationalistic frame and the popular republican frame of the social, his recent concern with deliberative democracy harks back to the pluralist contestatory frame of the social that informed a central strand of Enlightenment sociology.
		Sociology and the other social and humanistic research disciplines, for all the layers of reflexivity that went into constructing their objects, nevertheless study something real precisely because their objects are social.

	Self (psychology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The self is a key construct in several schools of psychology.
		Perhaps the best-known account of the self is Freud's theory of the tri-partite function of the self, involving ego, id and superego processes.
		The quantifying and classifying process is referred to by Michel Foucault (1975, 1977) as being the issue of ‘the calculable man’: when the masses are classified they can be exploited as individuals and it is individuality that allows this to occur.

	Science and Sociology by Max Weber (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Sociology (in the sense in which this highly ambiguous word is used here) is a science which attempts the interpretive understanding of social action in order thereby to arrive at a causal explanation of its course and effects.
		It is this which distinguishes the empirical sciences of action, such as sociology and history, from the dogmatic disciplines in that area, such as jurisprudence, logic, ethics, and aesthetics, which seek to ascertain the “true” and “valid” meanings associated with the objects of their investigation.
		On the contrary, both for sociology in the present sense, and for history, the object of cognition is the subjective meaning-complex of action.

	Sociology 203 Self and Society Syllabus
		Self and Society is an introductory level sociology course that attempts to examine how the individual "self" develops.
		The focus of the course is on where the self comes from, with a special focus paid to the way that society facilitates (or hinders) the development of the self.
		To study the self, then, we have to consider different theoretical frameworks for understanding the nature of the self.

	WHY SOCIOLOGY IS DIFFICULT
		The radically transcendent quality of self-consciousness, upon which sociology is especially dependent, is located within the emergent structure of a "biology of knowledge." Understanding this peculiar location of human self-consciousness helps explain why the sociological perspective is so difficult to come by and to maintain, and why social consciousness is thus ultimately a moral undertaking.
		Sociology does indeed slice into the phenomena of human behavior at an unusual angle, one that is not readily understood by the novitiate.
		The unique, reflective quality of sociology is made possible by the human capacity for self-consciousness which itself can, in turn, best be apprehended through an understanding of emergence and structure.

	Department of Sociology
		Sociology is the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior.
		Since all human behavior is social, the subject matter of sociology ranges from the intimate family to the hostile mob; from organized crime to religious cults; from the divisions of race, gender and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture; and from the sociology of work to the sociology of sports.
		Sociology is perhaps the broadest discipline of the social sciences and therefore provides opportunities for students to pursue diverse interests.

	Taylor & Francis Journals: Welcome
		Work on self and identity has a special place in the study of human nature, as self-concerns are arguably at the center of individuals' striving for well-being and for making sense of one's life.
		Thus, the “self” as a construct has far-reaching implications for behavior, self-esteem, motivation, experience of emotions and the world more broadly, and hence for interpersonal relationships, society, and culture.
		Self and Identity is devoted to the study of these social and psychological processes of the self, including both its agentic aspects, as well as the perceived and construed aspects as reflected in its mental representations.

		The self is the individual viewed as both the active source and passive object of reflexive behavior.
		The self emerges when we can act both as the subject (or person taking action, the I), or the object (the object toward which reflexive behavior is directed, the me).
		The looking-glass self has three parts: (1) how we think we appear to others; (2) how we think they judge what they see; and (3) how we feel about these [perceived] judgments.

	Illuminations: Agger
		The aim is to introduce students to the discipline of sociology, examining its key concerns and debates, while asking whether contemporary society is significantly different from the earlier capitalism in which sociology's founders formulated their basic concepts.
		Sociology is introduced not by presenting the usual taxonomy of concepts but by situating "self'' and "community" in the lives people lead.
		I ask what sociology can be at "the end of the social," a time somewhere between modernity and postmodernity when we can no longer assume that people inhabit a public sphere of civic discourse.

	C. J. Bittner: G. H. Mead's Social Concept of the Self (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Professor Mead's theory of the self cannot be understood very well without getting first a clear and definite knowledge of his concept of the `psychical', and of the fundamental philosophical principles, in terms of which the nature and function of the self is defined.
		The notion of the `generalized other' rests upon the assumption that originally the self is only objectively conscious, and that the child is consciously affected by others before he is conscious of being affected by himself, and that we naturally interpret ourselves in terms of others.
		Some of these propositions, such as the analytic and constructive activity of the self; the doctrine of the social form; the amorphous nature of sense-experience; the centered position of the self, indicate plainly the idealistic antecedents of his theory of the self.

		Before an introduction to sociology can occur, it is important to note that in fact two contrary positions/questions arise when anyone is asked to introduce a discipline as imporatnt as sociology.
		Sociology, because of its ties to public policy formulation and government, helps determine to what ends and uses we put society.
		In order to understand sociology and its objects in context, we will be following a thematic approach, stressing some of the key concerns of sociology: power, the state, self, authority, family, race, gender, social evolution, and of course, society.

		Sociology concentrates on the influence of social factors upon the construction of reality, identity, and self, and the reciprocal effects the individual has upon society.
		The focus of analysis in sociology is the interaction or encounter.
		Of particular concern for us will be the symbolic construction of reality and self, the place of language in thought and socialization, the general dynamics of interaction, and the social construction of the other.

		This note provides an illustrative case study of a sociology of culture class in which the social context created by the ubiquitous news coverage of the high school shootings that occurred in late 1998 and early 1999 interacted with student interpretation of material on media effects.
		The authors contend that it is imperative for instructors in a broad spectrum of sociology courses to be cognizant of the impact of high-profile media events on student interpretation of social phenomena.
