Sociology
Sociology differs from common sense in that:
it focuses on the researchers’ own experiences
it makes little distinction between the way the world is and the way it ought to be
its knowledge is accumulated from many different research contexts
it is subjective and biased
its knowledge is accumulated from many different research contexts
In everyday life, people think and act on the basis of ‘common sense’: we are so immersed in local norms, routines, and practices that we think of them as natural and inevitable. By contrast, sociologists think critically about how these rules have been created; they distinguish between the way the world is and the way they think it ought to be. They build up a cumulative knowledge, drawing on the research of other sociologists, and so can make some more general statements about society. 16
