Q. What can you do with a bachelor's degree in sociology? What classes should you take if you want to study sociology? What is required to get a bachelor's degree in sociology? What must you do prior to college in order to study sociology?

A. You might be able to get a low-level job in a social service organization. Or you can apply for social work school. If you have enough other social sciences courses and the education foundation courses to become certified you might be able to teach social sciences in high school. If you want to major in sociology, there will be a more-or-less prescribed program of courses in the liberal arts plus a certain number of sociology courses covering various disciplines within sociology. Sometimes it's required that you also take extra credits in a related discipline, like anthropology or psychology. Prior to college, you would need to take a basic college-prep course of study. If your school has a sociology course, take it and see whether… [cont.]

What is the differents in a sociology degree and social work degree?
Q. I have a choice between two universities. One University has a sociology program and the other one has a sociology and human services program. I know people major in sociology who wants to go into social work. I am just wondering If a company chooses one over the other one. I am thinking the person with a Human Service degree would get a job before the person with the degree in sociology because it's more about social work/human services job. Sociology is a broader field. I need advice please.

A. You would be much better off going to a university with a BA in social work if you want to be a social worker. The BSW is the most respected BA degree in the human services because it is accredited and has a good internship. A degree in sociology will give you a good understanding of social problems. A degree in human services at a BA level is uncommon (usually seen more at an AA level). You might really want to look at another university. DA

Is Sociology going to become a secondary school subject in Irish schools?
Q. Hey, I've heard that Irish secondary schools are now taking up Sociology as a subject in the next couple of years - is there truth behind this? I'm studying Sociology along with English and I'm hoping that if this is true, I could possibly go into teaching and teach either one of these subjects.

Asked by Cool Chaser - Sat Jan 9 12:28:03 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Max Weber illustrated how social institutions are dependent on each other. In his major work, he showed that when a change occurred in the religious institution during the sixteenth century, it contributed to a change in the economic institution. Previously, most people thought of religion and economics being autonomous and completely separated from each other. Weber showed how the emerging values of Protestantism (especially as taught by John Calvin) supported the development of modern capitalism. He also introduced the idea that bureaucracy would be the wave of the future. He distinguished three types of legitimate authority in societies: traditional, charismatic, and rational-legal. He did not favor Traditional (the son of the… [cont.]

How do I do my sociology assignment in a hospital?
Q. My Sociology teacher is allowing a few students to volunteer at the local hospital and perform participant observations instead of the normal survey research report. My duties would be basic: cleaning, bringing patients their meals, watching the front desk, etc. I am having trouble figuring out what to observe and report on in this setting. Has anyone else done something similar and can offer ideas?

A. There are hundreds of objective factors you can monitor and record for your Sociology assignment: I'll give you a few examples: 1.) How many times does a medical staff member visit a patient throughout a 2 hour period? 2.) What is the age group of the patient that gets more visits? Race? Gender? 3.) What trigger the visits? Who initiates the contact first and how many times? 4.) What is the duration of each visit? How long before the next one, if any? Good luck.

A. Yes, I would pursue an MA in sociology. There isn't really a differentiated degree program for CC teaching, but I would try to find a university that would grant you some kind of a graduate assistantship. At most schools, an assistantship would pay for some or all of your degree, and you would work a small number of hours each week for the department under the supervision of a full faculty member. The best assistantships allow you to teach introductory college courses under the supervision of the full faculty. This will give you both experience that will really help when you go to apply for jobs and the chance to see if you like teaching college. You might want to check at some of the community colleges in your area. In some fields… [cont.]

A. Psychology litterally means "stufy of the mind" while sociology is "study of society". Psychology is more related to the individual is society, how they think feel and behave, and is seen as more of a 'science' or mathematical subject, whilst sociology is related to the way in which society is organised and how this effects the individual and is more of a humanities subject. For example if I was doing a research project on depression, if I was a psychologist I would ask questions about the persons self-esteem and a general scale of their happiness.However if I was a sciologist I would ask questions such as "what is it about society that makes them depressed?" like why is it that jobless people have higher depression rates? is it that they… [cont.]

A. If you are majoring in Social Work, you will take a LOT of Sociology classes already. It is a fun discipline, I really enjoyed studying myself. But I would say that since you are majoring in Social Work and not Sociology, you should get a minor in Psychology instead. Social Work is a lot more practice than theory, and is very hands on. Having a background in Psychology will get you long way in your job search, since so many social workers end up doing some sort of counseling.

A. I would not suggest majoring in sociology unless you are also planning to go further with it into graduate studies or get a Ph.D. Truthfully, people who simply have a Bachelor's in Sociology mostly get jobs that are equivalent to babysitting within institutions (psych wards, etc). If you go further with Sociology though, you can end up doing some really interesting work in research.

Asked by Bathysphere - Fri Jun 27 13:11:09 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Anthropology is the study of human diversity around the world. Anthropologists look at cross-cultural differences in social institutions, cultural beliefs, and communication styles. They often seek to promote understanding between groups by "translating" each culture to the other, for instance by spelling out common, taken-for-granted assumptions. Sociology is the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies, and how people interact within these contexts. Since human behavior is shaped by social factors, the subject matter of sociology ranges from the intimate family to the hostile mob; from organized crime to… [cont.]
