Answer to Question 2

Sociologists obtain their knowledge of human behavior through research,

which results in a body of information that helps us move beyond guesswork

and common sense in understanding society. The sociological perspective

incorporates theory and research to arrive at a more accurate understanding

of the hows and whys of human social interaction. Once we have an

informed perspective about social issues, we are in a better position to find

solutions and make changes. Since much of sociology deals with everyday

life, we might think that common sense, our own personal experiences, and

the media are the best sources of information. However, our personal

experiences are subjective, and much of the information provided by the

media comes from sources seeking support for a particular point of view. The

content of the media is also influenced by the continual need for audience

ratings. We need to be able to evaluate the information we receive. This is

especially true because the quantity of information available has grown

dramatically as a result of the information explosion brought about by

computers and by the telecommunications industry.
