Assignment –SOC 100

Page one of your textbook defines sociology as “the systematic study of human society” by use of the sociology perspective. For this assignment you’ll need to summarize what the sociological perspective is, and what methods are used by sociologists to study society. Information on the sociological perspective can be found on pages 1-8 of your text, while information about sociological methods can be found on pages 38-51. Don’t worry about discussing the details of each method, you’ll only need to briefly discuss the differences between the following methods -survey research, interviews, participant observation, and secondary/historical analysis- while also explaining how each method could be used by a sociologist.

This assignment should be 2 pages long, using 12 point Times New Roman font and single spaced lines. Again, this is meant to be a brief discussion of what sociology is, and how sociological research is conducted. Don’t worry too much about the details. Generally explain what the “sociological perspective” is and then briefly discuss the methods used in sociological research. This should be written only by you – PLAGIARISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
