Why Sociology Needs Special Terms and Concepts

  • Sociology requires specific terminology because its subject matter (society) is familiar to us in everyday life
  • Common familiarity with social institutions prevents us from seeing them clearly and precisely
  • Sociological knowledge differs from common sense knowledge and naturalistic explanations

Social Groups and Their Types

  • Not every gathering of people constitutes a social group
  • Aggregates are collections of people in same place/time with no definite connection
  • Quasi groups lack structure but may become social groups over time

Social Stratification

  • Social stratification refers to structured inequalities between groups in society
  • It affects access to material and symbolic rewards
  • Four basic systems: slavery, caste, estate, and class

Status and Role

  • Status is a position in society or group with defined rights and duties
  • Role is the dynamic/behavioral aspect of status - status is occupied, roles are played
