After reading the three sociological perspectives by Paul Colomy I had a better understanding of how sociologists research worked. There are three perspectives that are used the most in sociology. Two are called functionalism and conflict which are macro theories. The third one is symbolic interactionism which is a micro theory. In order for sociologists to conduct research they need to use one or more perspectives. These perspectives help sociologist explain how society influences people or how people influence society.
I was raised in an area that was filled with drug addicts and drug dealers. I could have easily been influenced like many of my friends to live in the same lifestyles that surrounded us. But for me that just influenced me to continue my education and do better for me and my family.
