What
are the common themes that sociological theories have addressed throughout the
development of social thought?
Ans:
A main theme during this course is the significance
of the difference. It’s not only that Mills affects with Parsons. It’s correspondingly
that he thinks the difference is a necessary portion of life. Countries have dissenting
political gatherings; families have conflicting siblings. However quite than a reason
for concern, Mills considers this is a symbol of healthy republics and relations.
Certainly, by staging this part as a deviation from Parsons, he proposes by
what method much disagreement is also necessary for the growth of knowledge
itself. Mills will repeat the significance of discussion in the concluding
chapter of The Sociological Imagination. It
is the character of the sociologist, he considers, raising healthy discussion
and difference satisfactory for people to practice their reason and progress
democracy, as an alternative of signing up for authoritarianism.
