The problem with the Sociology



We live in a world that is in a constant change. Through of the history we could see how the wars, the poverty, the revolutions, the technology, and the own system, guide the way of humanity. Why the world changes an every moment? Why we live in a deeply inequality society for the most of people? Sociology seems to be a good way to respond these questions, since this is the scientific study of society, patterns of social relationships, social interaction and culture of everyday life. For this, through Sociology we can know the phenomena that occur in the society through history, to take better decisions at present. For example, in the problem of gender inequality at work, with a good sociology investigation we could have a better understanding of this problem. This information could be very important at the time of to make public policies that really help to reduce the salary gap. Consequently, Sociology is an important and indispensable tool if we want a equal and democratic society.

Despite the importance of Sociology to understand in a better way the phenomena that occur in the world and the fact that it may help to resolve many problems to the life of people, matters related to the sociology are more focused on the own sociology, that is to say, the theory and methodology to approach the phenomena. Therefore, the actual society with its problems passes to a secondary role. This wrong focus could produce a greater and greater distance between Sociology and the society, that is to say, the problems of the people. So, what is the use of a Sociology who cares more for itself and not for the problems and phenomena that occur in the society? Even though the important of theory and methodology (without a good theoretical basis and effective methodology it is impossible to make an good investigation) It is necessary to put the focus in the real problems and how to solve this in a good way. For this reason, will be presented a project that seeks an approach between sociology and actual social problems.

How we saw in the previous paragraphs, it is necessary a solution to this distance that is occurring. For this, the project "Sociology in the Society" would be a good solution. This project it has a purpose to approach Sociology to the daily life, and the phenomena that occur in the actual society. So this program is focused on the students that are studying a Sociology career. Specifically,  the idea is to make monthly seminars in the university about the role of sociology in the society and the actual problems that is occurring in the society. In this seminars will be delivered a papers with information about investigations of other sociologist and how this investigation have produced real changes in society. This seminars and papers will help the future sociologist for to put the focus in the society with his problems,that are the basic elements of a good sociology.

    Hi Diego,
    Remember in English, question marks are only used at the end of the question. It seems interesting although the first part isn't totally clear. The second paragragh seems to be closer to what the introduction is about

¿My Future?

Well, honestly, I haven´t thought about what I'm going to study in the future, but I always liked the music, I play the guitar but I don´t know about theory methods to play and I´ve always wanted to learn to play other instruments like the violin or the bass, so I think that in the future, after finishing the sociology career, I would like to study a subject about music, like a story of music or the music theory, and to be able to play every instruments of the world jeje. I think there must be excellent courses abroad, but I would like stay here in Chile, because I would like to study this course while I work as a sociologist, to afford the course, and my entire life :B so I think that a distance learning is a good option for me. I imagine myself working as a sociologist, and then coming to my house and studying music from the computer :). And maybe when I am old, I like to study a philosophy course, because I've always been interested in all this topics about the humanity, s...

One Piece!

One of the things that I very like to do in my free time is watch movies, series, and animes. I love the good stories, those that make you laugh, cry, scream! those stories that surprise you and you can't stop seeing them. One of my favorites stories of all time it´s the story of One Piece One Piece is an anime serie that shows the story of Luffy. He is a pirate who dreams of being the King of Pirates! and for that he must find the One Piece, a legendary treasure that is hidden somewhere in the ocean. He have a power that allows him stretch his whole body like a gum. The story is wonderfull, because it have a very funny moments, and also very epics moments that you can´t stop crying ;( This anime starts in 1999 and it have more than 800 episodes, and the creator keeps on publishing new episodes!. For this reason I hope I can be alive to see the end of this amazing story. The bad thing is that every week only one episode is published and the episodes just last 20 minutes :( But w...

My Career

The career that I am studying is the Sociology, at the Universidad de Chile. I think that is a good and funny career, but, it could be better. In this career, the subjects that I have to study are varied types, like, philosophy, economy, psychology, anthropology, statistics, and, of course, sociological theory (among many more). In most of these subjects, we learn the different thoughts of important authors for sociology, those who are usually men, and rarely did we read texts written by women. I think that the organization of the texts that we read should be more equitable in all the courses, because it is essential not to hide the voices of women who have been equally important in the social theory. The duration of the career is five years, in which we must study ten semesters. I think that it's a good time to get a good preparation (or maybe a little extensive time). Also, I think that the campus have a good infrastructure and the classrooms are big and very comfortable, especi...
