Practicing Success
The initial step of learning sociology is unlearning. Why? |
Your commonsensical understanding of society is biased, which doesn't allow you to understand social processes objectively Sociology is taught in English, not in other languages.

prior knowledge or familiarity with society is both an advantage and a disadvantage for sociology, the discipline that studies society. The advantage is that students are generally not afraid of Sociology – they feel that it can’t be a very hard subject to learn. The disadvantage is that this prior knowledge can be a problem – to learn Sociology, we need to “unlearn” what we already know about society |
