Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using concepts, theories, methods, and levels of analysis used by sociologists provides a more systematic and rigorous approach to understanding the social world, as compared to relying on unsystematic and subjective sources such as commonsense beliefs or personal experiences. Additionally, using nationally representative surveys may provide some additional insights, but may not be able to capture the complexity and diversity of social phenomena. Socialization through parents, schools, and religious figures may shape individual beliefs and behaviors, but may also reinforce biases and stereotypes.
