What to Focus On

  • Sociology emerged in 19th century Western Europe.
  • Three major processes paved the way: Enlightenment, French Revolution, and Industrial Revolution.
  • Modern society created new social problems and new forms of knowledge.

  • Marx was born on 5 May 1818 and died in 1883.
  • He developed theories of alienation, mode of production, and class struggle.
  • Modes of production: primitive communism, slavery, feudalism, capitalism.

  • Durkheim was born on 15 April 1858 and died in 1917.
  • He is considered the founder of sociology as a formal discipline.
  • Social facts are external to individuals and constrain behaviour.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Marx was a philosopher, and his main contribution was philosophy rather than sociology.

Class is the same as religion, language, nationality, or caste-like identity.

Class struggle happens automatically whenever classes exist.
