Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sociology in the United States of America Yet, whatever the future may think of the specific developments of the post-war decade, it seems likely that this period will be regarded as an important turning point in the history of social research in America. Its most Obvious feature was a considerable increase in the amount of research undertaken. Financial support from foundations, government agencies, private organizations and business enter prises underwrote empirical research on a wide variety Of topics. Research as an activity and sociologists with research abilities and skills gained considerable prestige both within the profession and with other disciplines. It is in this decade that empirical social research has achieved the status of a widely recognized and well-supported professional activity. However spectacular it may appear to be, it is not our purpose here to provide a chronicle of the growth of empirical Social research during the post-war period. We shall rather be concerned with reviewing the changes which took place in the structure of research activity - changes in methodology, new technical devices em ployed, and the transformation which took place in the organization of research. Before presenting a more or less systematic review of these developments in American sociological research, it may be worth giving a brief account of what the writer believes to be the most important changes. The reader will find each of these treated in greater detail in the body of this review. An important change in the post-war decade was the increasing use of the personal interview as a basic data collecting device. Attitude and Opinion surveys were made on a wide range of topics, using samples drawn from a variety of populations outside academic walls. Along with the increase in the employment of such surveys has come greater Sophistication in their use and analysis.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outline of American Regional Sociology Furthermore, in the case of the United States, not only is there a need for cooperative attack upon the problems within a region, but there is also a division of labor between regions in which the control of regional planning is in the hands of the nation. In many of man's social activities regional divi sion of labor is between aggregates under different national jurisdictions-trading English-manufactured goods for Argentine meat. In the United States the manufactured goods from one region of the country are most often traded for farm goods from another region in the same country.

Download or read book An American Town written by James Mickel Williams and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An American Town: A Sociological Study It has occurred to many of us that the great pity is, not that we are so ignorant of cosmic forces, but that we know so many things that are not so - particularly, disagreeable things about each other. The study of society reveals nothing more clearly than that a fundamental impulse of human nature is the combative or dominating impulse. Out of it springs avarice, prejudice and all kindred evils. This little study of Blanktown has been made with the hope that it may make people more thoughtful and generous in their attitude to one another by making them more intelligent. The purpose of sociology is a very practical one. It is to encourage not sympathy merely, but a manly and womanly regard for each others' interests, arising out of a due sense of the worth of each others' goodwill. This has nowhere been more perfectly expressed than in the words of Abraham Lincoln, uttered when was a young man, twenty-three years of age: "Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition. Whether it be so or not, I can say for one that I have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellow men by rendering myself worthy of their esteem." The study of human motives is, however, by no means a simple matter. The author does not concur in the popular notion that while other sciences may be permitted the use of expressions and methods which bewilder the uninitiated, yet sociology should speak so plainly that a wayfaring man, though a fool, need not err therein. All serious students of sociology have found that, far from being free from the technicalities which make other sciences difficult, sociology is the most complicated of all the sciences. Accordingly, we must refuse at the outset to simplify matters at the expense of truthfulness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Urban Community: Selected Papers From the Proceedings of the American Sociological Society, 1925 As a matter of fact, the city has been the happy hunting ground of movements: the better-government movement, the social-work movement, the public-health movement, the playground movement, the social-center movement, the settlement movement, the Americanization movement. All these movements, lacking a basic understanding or conception of the city, have relied upon administrative devices, for the most part, to correct the evils of city life. Even the community organization movement, theoretically grounded upon a conception of the city as a unit, had the misfor tune to stake its program upon an assumption of the supreme value of the revival of the neighborhood in the city instead of upon a prag matic, experimental program guided by studies of actual conditions and trends in urban life.

But as our book is intended to prove that we are indebted to domestic slavery for our happy exemption from the social af ictions that have originated this philosophy, it became necessary and appropriate that we should employ this new word in our title. The fact that, before the institution Of Free Society, there was no such term, and that it is not in use in slave countries, now, shows pretty clearly that Slave Society, ancient and modern, has ever been in so happy a condition, so exempt from ailments, that no doctors have arisen to treat it of its complaints, or to propose remedies for their cure. The term, there fore, is not only appropriate to the subject and the occasion, but pregnantly suggestive Of facts and argu.

Download or read book The American Journal of Sociology 1923 Vol 28 Classic Reprint written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of Sociology, 1923, Vol. 28 Nevertheless one cannot fail to recognize that the very power of the warlike tradition itself must be due to the fact that it not only was, but is, compatible with certain elements in human nature. Men, and women also, display too keen an interest, as Professor Thomas has shown, i in Violent and precarious activities, to excuse the student of war in any neglect of its instinctive aspects, of which we must take account in the following section. There is room, however, to question whether the ruling classes went to the appall ing tasks of the world-war with quite as much zest for the gaming aspect of it as they had, according to Professor Thomas, displayed toward the spanish-american and Boer wars, which have been reduced, in our new perspective, to very slight skirmishes indeed. Moreover, we should not assume, in any case, too much rigidity about human nature itself. Old dispositions may be directed toward new Objects, and the particular character of these Objects can be partly determined by deliberate reorganization of cultural elements, such as traditions, ideals, and institutions. When one turns from these over-simple interpretations Of war, and seeks to supplement them by a more prolonged search, it is found that its roots are not one but many. They bear at the same time such diverse fruits as hatred and love; the ruthless destruction of others and the utterly reckless sacrifice Of one's own life for others; the constant interchange of murderous missiles, and the occasional exchange, between the very same men, of songs, newspapers, and tobacco - all these and other strange and illogical anomalies.

Download or read book Introduction to the Science of Sociology Classic Reprint written by Robert Ezra Park and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-02-20 with total page 1066 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to the Science of Sociology The materials upon which this book is based have been collected from a wide range of sources and represent the observation and reflection of men who have seen life from very different points of view. This was necessary in order to bring into the perspective of a single volume the whole wide range of social organization and human life which is the subject-matter of a science of society. At the same time an effort has been made to bring this material within the limits of a very definite series of sociological conceptions which suggest, at any rate, where they do not clearly exhibit, the fundamental relations of the parts to one another and to the concepts and contents of the volume as a whole. The Introduction to the Science of Sociology is not conceived as a mere collection of materials, however, but as a systematic treatise. On the other hand, the excerpts which make up the body of the book are not to be regarded as mere illustrations. In the context in which they appear, and with the headings which indicate their place in the volume, they should enable the student to formulate for himself the principles involved. An experience of some years, during which this book has been in preparation, has demonstrated the value to the teacher of a body of materials that are interesting in themselves and that appeal to the experience of the student. If students are invited to take an active part in the task of interpretation of the text, if they are encouraged to use the references in order to extend their knowledge of the subject-matter and to check and supplement classroom discussion by their personal observation, their whole attitude becomes active rather than passive. Students gain in this way a sense of dealing at first hand with a subject-matter that is alive and with a science that is in the making. Under these condi tions sociology becomes a common enterprise in which all members of the class participate; to which, by their observation and investiga tion, they can and should make contributions.
