As you’ve read in Chapter 1, sociology can lead to many discoveries about our everyday lives, and, as Peter Berger’s debunking motif would indicate, these can really shake things up. Revealing what exists beyond the surface is productive in understanding how society works.
In your initial post, address the following:
- How might looking beyond what we know about our social reality (in other words, taking a sociological approach) be beneficial in our personal and professional lives?
- How might a sociological perspective assist us in knowing “us” and the world we live in better?
In addition to your main response, you must also post substantive responses to at least two of your classmates’ posts in this thread. Your response should include elements such as follow-up questions, further exploration of topics, or requests for further clarification or explanation.
