Wow, in 7 minutes you just summarised everything I've been trying to get to stick in my head.

[nohxpolitan]

Don't know why no one else could explain his theories so concisely. Thank you!

[gboyishere]

Hello radiohogan, I have a question for you.

Do you think the United States are in a period of aname? (sorry if I spelled it wrong)

[HeartPiece4u]

sociology is important for the survival of the masses. I try to learn , but i have learend that the only real way, to truly know. is to go out and go in through citys.

go to citys and see what is happening. and make reports. I live in califronia. there is an expreem difference between poor and rich , just a few mils apart. if your white and big like me your automatically rich. regardless of the truth , I just put up with it because people dont whant to listen.

Hogan educates.

[lliifvee]

is it Sociology or Soshiology, pronouncement wise

[Gazorait]

I also do like Zimmel.

But the true father of sociology is August Comte..he developed the idea of the "study of Society " could be made with the same method cientists use ...the cience method

You should also talk about Spencer's organic society develop

[AwfulSleazy]

Thanks so much for posting! I have a sociology exam/paper coming up and this was super helpful!

[moonstar16651]

The interesting thing to consider is the disciplinary backgrounds of these three theorists. Durkheim was officially a sociologist, whereas Marx considered himself an economist; Weber was trained in the historical economist tradition. Being an economist, Marx had a materialist view of history, which is what shaped his thinking that economic conditions drove institutions and the creation of the superstructure. Weber, coming from the historical school, was interested in how values drove economies.

[Mik5OO]

to bad you didn't mention Pareto's theory of foxes and lions, that ones my favorite (Social cycle theory) :D

[OfficialGetGln]

great video my brother. thank you

[mygenericusernamenow]

lol.. the poor are locked up. The rich just become crazy.. sounds about right :(

[jayguy173]

problem with this is society does not flow well anymore and there are more outcast

[Immike26]

Wow, I love this study. All I ever wanted was to play baseball and study this. One night after a lot of drinking, I bashed a guys head in and then got drunk again. Theres sociology for you, I was thrown out.

[pakisoulja110]

I have exam comingup and this sure helped me alott thanks !!

[Dendiol]

Highly informative. Many thanks!

[SOCRATES012]

jean jaques rousoux was onto something :)

[dianamadrid45]

I have studied Weber not as a structuralist-funcionalist but as an interpretative paradigm. I have studied that Emile Durkheim is a funcionalist as he view the society as an organ. One of the most important concepts in Weber's theory is Social Action as he was not as interested in the structure but in the interpretation of human social actions.

[radiohogan]

@dianamadrid45

Hi:

After recently reading Weber's "The Protestant Work Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism," I no longer view Weber as a structuralist, functionalist describing an organic society. Rather, I now view him as a far more radical exponent of the social conflict paradigm then Karl Marx himself. While Marx observed class conflict, Weber explains the SOURCE of the conflict. I use this interpretation of Weber in my YT video "Why the Middle class Hates the Poor?"

Thanks for this, helped me

[Rex1987]

the thing you say about that Sociology focues on the group while psychology studies the indvidual is only partly true. its true that some psychology like the humanstic psychology but not when you think of behavorists/Social psychologyist like Skinner, Asch or Milgram - they all try to figure out how humans behave in groups. So its to simpfied to say psychology is only the study of the indvidual human being.

[radiohogan]

Hello Rex1987:

Great point & beautifully articulated. You are completely correct (100%). I am a great fan of Abe Mazlow and Stanley Milgram, of course. Zombardo followed Milgram.

I am in your debt, as are viewers who may read these comments.

All the Best / Mike H

Rex are you familiar with Jacque fresco and the venus project? How about zeitgeist addendum? i suggest you go to google videos and watch "zeitgeist addendum" if you have already not done so

[VoxJoxx]

R-evolution

[radiohogan]

Please elaborate.

[VoxJoxx]

A simple idea that the R represents 'Our'  struggle and evolution is taking us to the next stage of human consciousness equating the Revolution that will have to take place to bring in the marxist concepts that capitalists have chosen to forcefully subdue since christ turned over the tables in the temple. Viva La R-evolution!!! Nice Job!

[frankzis]

hi I just wanted to say that combining intellect with religion or religious icons is swimming in a back yard pool and thinking you are in the ocean! We must remember the "taylors of the truth"(F. Nietzche) because forgetting them, will lead true men to become just that.

[frankzis]

@frankzis excuse the errors, it has been awhile for my english, promised to lower the error %!

Hope the opinion it's understandable.

[VoxJoxx]

God is dead, either that or he is deaf. Tailor your own perspective learn from philosophers but let it become your own reality then act on it, for what good is words without deeds.

[frankzis]

@VoxJoxx look first read "beyond good and evil"

[naruto2710]

@VoxJoxx to the theological question of, 'why does God allow suffering?' as your comment instigates. i've always thought that, there is a God. he doesn't allow suffering but has left the world and its affairs in our, more than capable, hands. there's enough resources, wealth etc, to feed the world several times over. its up to us to deal and figure it out. He doesn't allow suffering but has simply placed us here, given us fundamentals and has left the rest to us. He's not dead nor deaf.

[BronteMcveity]

Thaks for this, really helpful

[l0vablelinda]

would you define anthropology more deeply please? groups in other lands is what you already said in this video... is the study usually done by looking at artifacts? i'm trying to decide on a major, thanks!

[radiohogan]

Sociology & Anthropology seem much the same, to me. While sociologists study contemporary industrialized societies, anthropologists travel to study older less developed societies. While a sociologist might study a modern city ("Urban Villigers" by former American Sociology Assn. president Herbert Ganz is an example), an anthropologist might travel to the Amazon jungle to study Indian tribal culture.

[JackBlair2]

Anthropology is the study of places that don't have room service.

[GrobycStrongArm]

Nice elaboration, I'm studying/majoring in soc/law and I absolutely love it!

[whiff1962]

I think in part that Psychiatry is an engenderment of cultural mores and values, however skewed and biased those values might seem. An examination of the sociology of deviance, particularly as translated into the totality which is the psychiatric enterprise, one can see a consistency in treating deviant acts and utterances, and marginalizing those deviant elements in society. Mental illness, as a label of deviance par excellence, is one way of marginalizing and discrediting the deviant.

[whiff1962]

If a sociologist of a structuralist bent sees society as working as system, with its interconnecting parts, serving the whole, then, how might Post-Structuralism say about the same respective functional aspects in a society? I do understand that many in the latter camp wax a bit iconoclastic at times, but, is there greater relivance to be discovered in more contemporaneous sociological theories (ie: Post-Structuralist v. Functionalist approach)?

[1thebabyalex]

I did take the odd sociology class in university, but never delved too deeply into Weber's more seminal ideas, notably, this notion of the Protestant work ethic. What might be a good book title to flesh out my understanding of Weber's treatment of Captalism?

[radiohogan]

"The Protestant Work Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism" by Max Weber

[JackBlair2]

No, that can't be it.

[lavie254520]

Radiohagen, I'm taking Sociology what is the easiest way to get it?

[getblitzed]

answer this question asap please? i read a local newspaper article this morning, it talked about buying a house in my area. would that me a macro issue or a micro issue?

[radiohogan]

Micro

[getblitzed]

really im doing a paper for class i put it macro so theres no way it can be micro. i thought it was macro because micro deals with social interaction and that article has nothing to do with that.. right?

[ph34rn0d34th]

I must admit, my knowledge of Hegel in particular is limited. It has been a while since I touched on that subject in my studies. Nevertheless, I am getting the impression we have a shared point of view on the matter.

[ph34rn0d34th]

On the subject of politics and science. The point that maybe was unclear is the following; If at a certain time, there is a theory (A). Then, later, this theory is adjusted or revised. Thus, a new theory is created (B).

Now, if validity was a high priority, in politics they would use the most recent one (B). However, sometimes an old theory will suit a politician better. Same goes for certain religeous leaders. They will pick the theory that fits them rather than the most truthful theory.

[radiohogan]

Sounds like American propaganda. Our's is the most advanced Propaganda Wurlitzer. We have become a nation of inauthentic liars.

[whiff1962]

Excellent point! This is quite illuminating.

[ph34rn0d34th]

The fundamental ideas do not necessarily require revision, however it is in the nature of scientific method to try to falsify any theory.

Furthermore, society may change over time and as a result the classic theories might become outdated. For example, Marx expected revolts among the working class, yet that did not happen on the predeicted scale.

Thirdly, politics partially influences popular theory. For example, think of how Hitler used Darwin's theories for ethnic cleansing.

[radiohogan]

Sounds like Hegal's Thesis, AntiThesis and Synthesis that Marx ran with.

[whiff1962]

That would be Hegel. Hegel had some rather interesting ideas about the State, too. But, he is altogether impossible to understand, at least for me.

[ph34rn0d34th]

Was replying to Deadmorrow. I came across it in one of my college books, thought it might be what he was looking for.

Theories will be shared with in society, and the individuals who receive these theories will keep these in mind to some degree, thus changing their behaviour.

However, assumptions will be tested for validity in scientific testing, and in time (dis)proven. The issue here might be; do the people hang onto the old theory or the revised one? I think that is a matter of politics...

[radiohogan]

It is hard to "revise" the pillars (fathers) of any social science, particularly Sociology. What should we revise in the works of Durkheim, Weber or Mills?

As to politics, I don't understand your point. Are you saying politics defines truth? Rather then an "old" and a "revised" theory, I see many discredited theories by the wayside and a few well integrated theories left standing in any social science.

[ph34rn0d34th]

Thomas theorem: situations we define as real become real in their consequences.

Maybe that helps?

[radiohogan]

What are you saying? Please elaborate.

[deadmorrow]

I was just wondering something. All these people, Comte, Durkheim, Weber, Marx and so on were still only people with limitations as any other person. This is a historical perspective I suppose and I know that sociologist working today are still modifying everything but I was just wondering, what if "the one" as in "the self" makes assumptions about "the rest", "the other" (not using correct definitions) and that these assumptions, taken as valid then continue to live on, regardless of validity.

[radiohogan]

Have you read any books by Comte, Durkheim, Weber or Marx?

[Miyedo]

If I am understanding you right I would say just look at the world we are living in today. Is this world a better place because of these founders or is it not? It is all up to people like you to ask those questions. I have them myself. All of these men thought of better ways for society to exist in a productive way so are we actually doing that. I guess the other question is what is productive. We are always going to have different views on everything that is why it is so complex..lol pCe yall

[edgaralfaro15]

Fail!!!! Socioogy is more than modern western world .... try worldwide

[radiohogan]

Weber studied all the religions of the world. Durkheim studied religion among the Australian Aboringines.

[nickowns666]

Anarchy is not Chaos

[radiohogan]

Who said it is?

[nickowns666]

im sorry i mistook 3:35 - 33:7 as you stating that anarchy was chaos.

[AfroNinja101SK]

any ignorant prick...

[radiohogan]

Would you care to elaborate? Do you have a comment about the video?

[AfroNinja101SK]

no im not saying anything about the video, which is excellent btw.

[radiohogan]

Is it my gestalt you object to?

[AfroNinja101SK]

no it's just that nickowns666 said anarchy isn't chaos, then you said, who said it is. then i said what i said and now... yeah.

[radiohogan]

Confusing! However, anarchy is not chaos and you know it.

[AfroNinja101SK]

lol. of course its not!

[teched246]

Sociology taught academically is imbecilic in itself and defeats the purpose of this field.

Academic; learned or scholarly but lacking in worldliness, common sense, and practicality.

That is one of the literal definitions for the term academic... Why is society being observed in academia.

Academic content is PURELY theoretical and hypothetical; as the definition states: "lacking in WORLDLINESS, COMMON SENSE, and PRACTICALITY"

Turning students into unsure and non-realistic thinkers

[teched246]

Well, what exactly qualifies as chaotic. The term "chaos" is transient and vague. Please elaborate on your dissent towards the assertion that an anarchstic society would be inherently neutral and pure.

[ItalianDude88Returns]

Basically, people interact with each and other by interpreting or defining each other's actions instead of merely reacting to each other's actions. Their 'response' is not made directly to the actions of one another but instead is based on the meaning which they attach to such actions. Thus, human interaction is mediated by the use of symbols and signification, by interpretation, or by ascertaining the meaning of one another's actions.

[radiohogan]

Hello ItalianDude:

Thanks for your help.

All the Best / Mike Hogan

[ItalianDude88Returns]

George Herbert Mead was one of the pioneers of Symbolic Interactionism. It is one of the main major sociological paradigms aside from structural functionalism and the marxist/conflict paradigm. Symbolic interactionism is micro-level sociology and focuses more on individuals within society and small groups as opposed to macro-level ones.

[ItalianDude88Returns]

What about Mead and Symbolic Interactionism?

[radiohogan]

Hi:

Margret Mead is normally categorized as an anthropologist. There is no doubt she is a great academic and intellectual.

What is Symbolic Interactionism?

Thanks / Mike

[ilikeubutucrazy]

The way people use and interact with symbols within society

[luv4yasutora]

i very much want to major in sociology but i can't find alot carreers that focus mainly on sociology besides teaching it.

[radiohogan]

Hi:

Millions of Liberal Arts graduates each year do not go to graduate school & teach. Such graduates are sought by the bureaucracies of life - particularly corporations that want folks who can think.

In any case, the Social Sciences are best used in ones own life - to better understand yourself and the group. Sociology gives one a perspective.

[shaybshay]

Is there any sociologist or sociology that isn't an indoctrination of socialism and that doesn't prop Marx up as some sort of God?

[radiohogan]

Dear Shaybshay:

You, apparently, did not watch my video. I made it clear Durkheim & Weber have very different paradigms from Marx.

As to Marx being propped up by others; this is nonsense. Karl Marx is an intellectual giant whose works will live to infinity to become a tale of eternity. You can read about Marx in a book called "The Marxists" by C. Wright Mills.

All the Best / Mike Hogan

[shaybshay]

Of course I watched your video it was a good intro to SOC 101, although you forgot to mention Comte. My question, to rephrase, are there any sociologists that don't have a bias towards socialism?

[radiohogan]

Hi Shaybshay:

I need to read Comte in order to comment. Others have recommended Comte. What do you suggest I read?

Max Weber opposed socialism, although he had friends who were socialists. Emile Durkheim was definitely not a socialists. Both men were first class academics.

All the Best / Mike Hogan

[jonahbu]

Be more enthusiastic. More humor. If not, then take advantage of movie maker. Like when u mention sum1 u can have pictures and subtitles ? Use props ? or present your lessons in a different method of approach. Instead of sounding like ur reading it out the book. I have that enough in skool. Possibly apply the casual "talking to you 1 on 1" swagger of george carlin ?. idk.

[powerusjp]

Thanks Radio Hogan !!!!

I will past you on to my Sociology classes ..

This is a great introduction to the different paradigms of Sociology .

[FifiGuess]

Great vid!! & only in 7 minutes...

i've found that Weber accepts that a middle class exist and claims that power can be gained in three ways; party power, status and economic power,, where as for Marx it's just the bourgeoisie and proletariat = economic power is the only form of power

I really think someone should come up with an explanation of todays from of power and means of gaining it along with the 'dumbining' (not a word i know) of youths as a form future sociol control.

[shalalai]

nice introductory video

you could have talked a little more about Marx though....

[OMGITSGUI]

hey hogan great video. thx

but quick question....

have you ever watched the movie "fight club" (1999) (if not,google it)

i keep telling my teacher everyday that we should watch that movie to reflect on what we have learned in sociology class... but she thinks it does not relate..

what do you think?

[radiohogan]

Yes, I watched Fight Club. One of my favorite actors (Edward Norton) was in it, right?

To the extent it was a study of group behavior, it has sociological ramifications.

Tell me how you view it?

[OMGITSGUI]

yes sir, thats right. one of my favorites as well.

i believe this movies relates to sociology on some topics like conflict theory, functionalist, class (working class) , capitalist theory. The hidden curriculum (what society expects from the individual post graduation) and more... much more..

"We work jobs we hate to buy shyt that we dont need"

in my opinion they should allow this movie to be shown in sociology class (high school level)

[OTRFalcon]

Sociology is the most complex science man has ever known. Math , physics, astronomy ..those are easy...sociology is the subject of the future .

We hardly know anything about ourselves, I can't wait for the "human enlightenment" to happen, this when we realize that we are all the same "human" ,.. and stop the pointless squabbling in the middle east , Africa and south America...

[CrysaniaIV]

... thinking about society. And, if you like conflict, perhaps you need to read some material from conflict theorists such as Lewis Coser and Ralf Dahrendorf. We can't all be pioneers when it comes to generating ideas about any subject, and it would be silly if people had to constantly rediscover, for instance, the properties of heart cells every generation. Ideas are passed down, and if done properly, added to, contributing to our overall understanding of a subject over a period of time.

[CrysaniaIV]

You see, sociology investigates the relationships between humans in groups (this is an oversimplification, but will do for now). Sociology is an attempt to understand the situations we are in within the context of the larger picture, and this is why we talk about functionalism and social facts. However, none of these ideas rule supreme, but we respect the people who first came up with them. They were pioneers in releasing ideas about social thought, and their ideas guide the current mode of...

[CrysaniaIV]

... range of subjects, that I make decisions, analyze situations and come up with ideas based on contextual knowledge based in either a historical and/or cultural context. The conclusions you have arrived at (e.g. that universities do not teach students to teach for themselves) are only partially correct. While there are many problems with education, namely the value and quality of education, most students (and especially arts students) receive an education that allows them to think critically.

[CrysaniaIV]

@ theoffspring007

Unfortunately, you misunderstand what this man is talking about. While Sociology has some 'iconic' founders, we do not follow their ideas like a dogmatic religion. Instead, we use their ideas to understand society in a number of different ways, and in several contexts. Sociology students are not indoctrinated into the same mode of thinking (though some ideas do become accepted as 'more useful' than others). In all honesty, my education ranges across such a wide...

[l8erdaz]

Have a question for you sir. Wondering if you think calling sociology a "social science" limiting? or is this just another generalized name given to sociology, anthropology and the humanities since they are all still very new methods of study?

[radiohogan]

Hello:

When I went to college, sociology was categorized as a social science, along with psychology, anthropology, political science, economics, etc. The Bachelor of Arts degre consisted of humanities and social science classes.

In what way do you find the categorization of sociology as a social science "limiting?"

All the Best / Mike Hogan

[walaukana]

Karl mark suggests that sociology is shaped by economy. Durkeim mention about social facts whereas Weber mention about functionalism. C Wright Mills was the founder of sociological imagination, he made that theory.

[walaukana]

Hello i have one important question, but this question is not about sociology in theories, its about sociology of crime and deviance.

My qs, Lombroso argues that women are biologically incapable in committing crime whereas Pollak argues that women are under-reported. My qs is, is this argument valid in our modern world?

[theoffspring007]

while im here if you don't mind I would like to question your motives for learning and teaching sociology? the reason i am interested in your answer is because i believe conflict is healthy, everyone is at a different developmental level let alone state of mind and so having a set of static rules for everyone like those "great thinkers" doesn't appeal to my world, and i like my world. i do appreciate you sharing your feelings of inner peace with me.

[radiohogan]

You need to read "Anti Intellectualism In American Life" by America's premier historian, Professor Richard Hofstadter.

i dont like teachings about how things have or should be, like societies as this only highlights our vasts differences. im not an anarchist, im not angry either i just enjoy using profanities, my guess is you mistook my words for anger. i would prefer it if universities taught subjects like "how to think for yourself" rather than follow a bible of crap like sociology. also the rules of society do not apply to those who don't know them, so i wonder whats the point of teaching them only to college

한국은 이것이 문제이다. 법학전문 대학원제도를 도입하면서 미국 흉내를 내고 있는데 이는 잘못된 결정이었다.첫째 지금 법대 4년 교육을 마치고 법학전문대에 들어간다고 해도 3년으로는 실무과정을 따라 잡을 수 없는 지경이다. 민사집행법과 부동산등기법 공탁법 공부하는 데만 3년이 다 흘러간다.

둘째 미국은 인턴제도가 잘 되어 있어 법과대학을 졸업한다고 해서 바로 법률가의 자격이 주어지는 것이 아니라 선배누군가로 부터 실습을 받은 다음 의뢰인과 직접 법률사무처리를 하도록 하고 있으며 이렇게 하여 국민들에게 서비스를 제공하고 있는데 3년 과정에 채권이 무엇인지 물권이 무엇인지도 다 못 배워나가는데 무슨 법률서비스가 되는가?

3. 나눠 먹기식 전국 대학에 정원 분배는 기괴한 로스쿨이지 않을 수 없다. 인하대의 경우 35명 정원 건국대의 경우 40명 정원으로 알려져 있는데 이게 무슨 수업이 될 것이며 교수는 뭐하냐? 다시 구 사법시험제도로 되돌려라.

Hello Zsylvana:

In future, I will do as you suggest and devote an entire 10 minute video to Mills. I read his book: "The Marxists" this summer while at the beach.

Have you read Brave New World?

I think I agree with the conclusions of the Controller of Europe; without a hierarchical structure the wheels stop turning. A classless utopia is simply not possible.

Do you have any videos on post-modernism?

[radiohogan]

I have read "Brave New World."

We disagree about your belief that a hierarchical world is required.

The RadioHogan channel has 20 or 30 videos concerning the Post Modern era (post WW II). Don't be shy; check them out.

hi mike,

very informative video, good job.

Have you ever read books by Bourdieu? He's quite interesting.

also, one of the most underrated, yet most fascinating sociologists is Norbert Elias. Are you familiar with him? Check out his 2 volumes on the Civilization Process.

have a good one,

jonah

Hi Jonah:

I am currently reading a very good biography of Max Weber and then I will reread his "Protestant Work Ethic." When that work is done I will have my librarian look for books by Bourdieu & Elias.

Thanks / Mike

Hi there, if its not a problem is there anything else you have on Mills - i have a project to do which consist of analysing the concept of sociological imagination and its sociological importance, then explaining how this sociological tool can help you understand your 'social role and destiny' thanks

[radiohogan]

Have you read Mill's book: "The Sociological Imagination?

[CasaTchucks]

and something about durkheim's group imagination?! maybe?!

[radiohogan]

The video on Durkheim's "Elementary Forms of the Religious Life" is up on YouTube and is Entitled Religion 102 Parts 1 & 2. Part 2 considers how religion was originated in the group imagination.
