What to Focus On

  • Sociology is unique because students already possess prior knowledge about society before studying it.
  • Prior knowledge (common sense) is 'partial' — it is both incomplete and biased towards one's own social group.
  • The initial stage of learning Sociology involves 'unlearning' common sense assumptions.

  • A social map locates an individual within the web of social relationships and groups in society.
  • Social identities include age, region/language, economic class, religion, caste/tribe, and gender.
  • Young people (age 18 and below) account for approximately 40% of India's population.

  • Common sense knowledge is acquired through socialization and feels 'natural' but is partial and biased.
  • Sociological understanding is systematic, critical, evidence-based, and strives to be objective.
  • Sociology requires 'unlearning' common sense assumptions to see social reality more completely.

Memory Tips
