In everyday life, people think and act on the basis of 'common sense': we are so immersed in

local norms, routines, and practices that we think of them as natural and inevitable. By contrast,

sociologists think critically about how these rules have been created; they distinguish between

the way the world is and the way they think it ought to be. They build up a cumulative

knowledge, drawing on the research of other sociologists, and so can make some more general

socialization

Sociologists argue that our identities are socially produced, through a process called

socialization. This means that we have to learn to become members of our society, or of

particular groups within it (such as social classes or subcultures), and we do this every time we

join a new social group. Socialization involves learning the norms, values, and lifestyles of a

group, to the extent that they become part of one's personal identity.

8. In contemporary societies, social institutions are:

A. highly specialized, interrelated sets of social practices

B. disorganized social relations in a postmodern world

C. virtual communities in cyberspace

D. no longer relevant to sociology

highly specialized, interrelated sets of social practices

Sociology is the study of whole societies and the activities that go on within them. Modern

societies are organized around social institutions, which are patterns of behaviour, social roles,

and practices. These institutions are specialized because they regulate activity in different

contexts of social life: education, the family, religion, and so on. However, the various

institutions are linked together, and so we cannot study one social institution in isolation from the

others..

the office

We can think about 'society' as a structure that is organized at various levels. These range in size

from the smallest scale face-to-face interactions of everyday life, to social organizations or

institutions (such as a business corporation or a school), to the community, which can be located

in a physical setting or in cyberspace, and finally to the nation state, a complex economic and

political apparatus, which provides citizenship and certain rights (for example, access to health

care or education). It is interesting to consider how smaller scale units relate to larger ones, for

example through globalization..

10. When sociologists study the structure of layers in society and people's movement between them, they call

A. social stratification

B. Social control

C. social conflict

D. social solidarity
