If you answered "yes" to most of these questions, you may have what it takes to become a sociologist! What should you expect from starting sociology? Most people who begin are excited to find how different the world looks when viewed sociologically. Our way of life loses its "taken for granted" quality and comes alive with questions about "How?" "Why?" and "For whom?" I am passionate about sociology mostly because it is fun to do. It opens your mind and provides answers where you did not even realize there were questions! |
