Which of the following would a sociologist be most likely to describe as an example of self-reflexivity? |
A student identifies her caste and class background. A student memorises the definition of socialisation. A student examines whether her caste and class background have influenced her opinions. A student collects information about different social groups. |
A student examines whether her caste and class background have influenced her opinions. |
The correct answer is Option 3: A student examines whether her caste and class background have influenced her opinions. Simply identifying one's social background is not enough. Self-reflexivity begins when a person critically examines how that background may have shaped their attitudes, assumptions, and worldview. It involves turning the sociological lens on oneself. |
