Macro And Micro Perspectives

Macro and Micro perspectives are important in Sociology because they are used to make different beliefs on how society works and gives us different ways of looking at it. The micro perspective believes that society's larger structures are shaped through individual reactions, such as a child and his or her parents. Macro, on the other hand, assumes that society's larger structures actually shape the interactions individually, such as social problems and it's affiliation within society. When analyzing human interactions between the two, micro uses the study of humans face to face and macro uses broad social processes. Additionally, both perspectives gain the natural world's view point. I believe that neither method is better than the other because
you need both micro and macro in order to see the overall big picture. By using both methods then you can get an actual image of the interactions between each group.
