Comprehensive Study of Classical Sociological Theory

Description

The fundamental understanding of sociology is that social interaction within groups and the groups to which individuals belong significantly influence how individuals behave. Sociology is primarily concerned with the collective rather than the individual. The primary focus of a sociologist is on human interaction, namely how individuals interact with, react to, and influence one another. However, not everything that occurs in society or within social contexts is studied by sociology. Two historical chapters that address the discipline's early history and its most current advancements are still part of Classical Sociological Theory. These chapters provide an overview that enables students to place the contributions of each theory in their respective historical, social, and political contexts. The majority of what students need to know about traditional sociological theory is conveniently summarized in this book for them.
