Answer to Question 1

Although sociologists do not deny that biology influences human behavior, they feel that humans, unlike animals, possess a self and have abstract thought. Humans discuss the reasons or principles that underlie their behaviors. They use rational thought, not instincts, to guide their actions and develop purposes and goals. They consider options, reflect on alternatives, and make choices, all of which take place beyond genetic influences and human instinct.

Answer to Question 2

(1 ) a culture;
(2 ) a territory
