Sociology
• Is also concerned with repetitive and recurrent forms of behavior, attitudes, beliefs, values, norms and social institutions that make up the social order ( Panopio &
Rolda, 2000)
Social Interactions:
• The responses between individuals are perhaps the basic sociological concepts because such interactions are the elementary components of all relationships. • These interactions can be examined from both MICRO and MACRO perspectives, though neither can be divorced from the other.
MICROSOCIOLOGISTS
• Are those who concentrate on the details of particular interactions as they occur in everyday life.
• Microsociologists include studies of how divorced men and women disengage from significant social roles; of how conformity can influence the expression of prejudiced attitudes and how teacher’s expectations can affect a student’s academic performance.
( Schaefer, 2005)
MACROSOCIOLOGISTS
• Are those concerned with the larger patterns of relations among major social sectors, such as the state and the economy, and even with the international relations.
• Macrosociologists have examined international crime rates, the stereotype of Asian
Americans as a “model minority.” Macrosociology and Microsociology
“While MICRO SOCIOLOGY seeks to understand the individual in the context of society, MACRO SOCIOLOGY seeks to understand group behavior in the context of society.”
