 Chapter One: The Creation and Development of Sociology

The first chapter of sociology

  • Historical Conditions for the Founding of Sociology
  • The need for social change: The direct root and key factor of sociology is the need for social change
  • Promote the development of natural science
  • The accumulation of social experience research
  • A foundation of social thought laid down by social research pioneers
  • The main representatives of the founding period of sociology
  • Auguste Comte : "Father of Sociology" , first proposed the concept of sociology in "Course of Positive Philosophy" in 1838; he is the authoritative representative of positivism.
  1. Comte's sociological thought:
  1. Classification of sciences: Sociology is the highest level of science (based on Saint-Simon's classification of sciences: Mathematics, Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Sociology);
  2. The research object of sociology: Comte divides sociology into social dynamics and social statics
  3. Research methods: use empirical methods to study human society. Comte believed that the empirical method of studying nature must be used to study human society to discover objective and free social laws. "Understand in order to predict, predict in order to control", the empirical methods created by Comte are observation method, experiment method, comparative method and historical method. Comte explained the five meanings of positivism in his book "Introduction to Positive Philosophy":
  • realistic rather than fantasy
  • useful rather than useless
  • reliable rather than suspicious
  • exact rather than vague
  • positive rather than negative
  1. Comte’s contribution to sociology: he put forward the idea of ​​establishing sociology in the classification of sciences, clarified the study of social order and progress from a holistic perspective, and proposed positivism and four basic research methods in sociological research .
  • Karl Marx
  1. Marx is the main founder of sociology
  2. Marx founded the basic theory of sociology
  3. Marx's Sociological Theory Pays Attention to Practical
  • Herbert Spencer : He believes that society is an organism just like living things, but society is not a simple organism but a "superorganism" . Spencer is a famous British bourgeois sociologist, philosopher and educator, known as "Aristotle of Victorian England". Representative works include: "Social Statics", "Sociological Research", "Principles of Sociology"
  1. social organism theory
  2. social evolution
  • The main representative of the formative period of sociology
  • Emile Durkheim (France): France and the first person in Europe to teach sociology at a university . Three discussions on "On the Division of Labor in Society", "Code of Sociological Method", "On Suicide" ("On Suicide" is an example of Durkheim using one social fact to explain another social fact); Durkheim's social The sociological perspectives include the object of study in sociology, the theory of social solidarity, the theory of anomie, the principles of sociological research methods, the methods of functional analysis and historical analysis
  1. Objects of Sociology The so-called social facts are ways of behaving, thinking, and feeling that exist outside of people themselves, and are imposed on each individual through a coercive force. Social facts have the characteristics of priority, externality, objectivity and compulsion. It is emphasized that the coercion of social facts on individuals is not only an external coercion, but also a coercion realized in an internalized way.
  2. Social Solidarity Theory: A state of social connection characterized by attraction that coordinates, cooperates, and unites individuals with individuals, individuals with groups, and groups with groups. "Collective consciousness" (divided into two types: "mechanical solidarity" and "organic solidarity". The transition from traditional society to modern society is the society from mechanical solidarity to organic solidarity)
  3. Anomie theory: a social state in which the regulation of individual desires and behaviors by society lacks uniform norms and sufficient constraints. Durkheim believes that the existence and development of anomie is not conducive to the stability and development of society. Durkheim's research aims to seek the power and ways of exercising control over individuals. Causes of social anomie:

(1) Personal desires are rapidly growing in modern social institutions

(2) Modern society cannot satisfy everyone's individual desires

(3) Sudden changes in society make individual desires lose their social binding force, causing crises and turmoil in society

  1. Guidelines for Research Methods in Sociology
  1. The first and most fundamental maxim is to study social facts as objects
  2. Sociology should abandon the kind of research that takes the abstract social whole as the object, and take the specific social content, elements and different aspects as the research object;
  3. The approach of "explaining social facts in terms of social facts" must be followed. The book "On Suicide" is his example of using one social fact (social integration) to explain another social fact (suicide)
  4. Note the distinction between normal (universal) and pathological (non-universal) phenomena
  5. Comparative method is the most fundamental method of sociology
  1. Functional Analysis and Historical Analysis Methods: The systematic method of sociological functional analysis reasoning was created by Durkheim, who clearly distinguished between historical and functional modes of inquiry, between functional outcomes and individual motivations.
  • Max Weber : (German) "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism", "Economy and Society "
  1. Understanding Sociology: The research object of sociology is social action, social action is the interaction and common action of actors who take actions to influence another person or more people. Specifically, it is manifested in social customs, social control, social problems and social needs. The fundamental approach to the study of social action is understanding.
  2. Types of social action: Rationality is the core concept of Weber’s theory of society. Starting from this, he organized social action into four types: Purpose-means rational action; Value rational action; Emotional action; traditional action
  3. Ideal Type: In order to avoid the individualized and specialized research methods of the German School of Humanities and History, Weber proposed a key conceptual tool - the ideal type. Ideal types do not refer to moral ideals, nor do they refer to average states. The ideal type contains the meaning of emphasizing the typical action process. On the one hand, as a conceptual tool for intellectual construction, it is highly generalized and abstract, so it is different from empirical facts; on the other hand, as a conceptual tool for investigating reality, It is also a generalization and abstraction based on empirical facts, so it has the function of making oneself divorced from reality and then to understand reality.
  4. The theory of bureaucracy (later)

Section 2 Main Theoretical Schools of Sociology

  • Chicago School: Sociology originated in Europe, but the world's first sociology department was established in the United States . Major academic achievements of the Chicago School:
  1. The Chicago School pioneered the study of modern urban communities
  2. The Theory of the City of the Humanities District
  3. The Chicago School Promoted the Perfection of Sociological Survey Research Methods
  4. Symbolic Interactionism
  • Structural-functionalism: It emerged in the 1930s, during the period of the world economic crisis, and the representatives were Parsons and Merton. Structural-functionalism focuses on how social equilibrium is maintained and continuously restored. According to structural-functionalism, society is first and foremost a whole.
  1. Parsons believes that if any society wants to survive, it must have the general conditions necessary to maintain the system: ①adaptation:; ②achievement; ③integration; ④dimensional model
  2. Merton: Social Theory and Social Structure offers a more flexible approach to functional analysis.
  • Conflict theory: Conflict theory originates from Marx's social thought, and Marx's theory of class struggle is considered to be the earliest, deepest and most thorough theory of conflict.
  1. Lewis A. Coser : Functional Conflict Theory . "The Social Function of Conflict" Social conflict not only has the negative function of destruction, but also has the positive function.
  2. 达伦多夫辩证冲突论。《工业社会的阶级和阶级矛盾》达伦多夫认为,“我们称作社会分层的不平等体系,只不过是社会权力结构的派生物”这属于社会分层理论的冲突论。
  • 交换理论:
  1. 霍曼斯:交换理论是美国社会学家霍曼斯所建立的。人类的相互交往和社会联合都是一种交换行为,经济学的交换原则可以推广到一切社会行为,人们的互动可以被理解为酬赏的交换,一个人如何行动取决于其行动所能得到的酬赏或可能招致的惩罚。缺陷:只看到个人交换行为的心理方面,只讲交换行为建造社会结构,而没有看到社会结构对交换行为的影响。
  2. 布劳:《社会生活中的交换与权力》交换常常是在资源和权力分配的不平等基础上展开的。
  • 符号互动论:起源于乔治赫伯特米德,美国社会学家库利、托马斯和米德等人的符号互动论的早期代表,主要代表人物有:赫伯特布鲁默、欧文戈夫曼。基本观点:人类的互动是以符号为中介的,对共享的符号的理解是社会互动的基础。
  • 社会批判理论:法兰克福学派所主张的理论道路。有三个方面的理解:
  1. 法兰克福学派相信资本主义制度正在使得人们逐渐失去了批判社会的能力
  2. 法兰克福学派认为在社会研究领域存在同样的问题,特别是反映在实证主义社会学的研究取向上
  3. 法兰克福学派的局限性:没有找到真正解决资本主义根本出路,从而陷入历史发展的悲观主义情绪。
  • 当代社会学理论的代表人物
  1. Alfred Schutz: Deeply influenced by phenomenological philosophy, he founded phenomenological sociology . His representative works include "Phenomenology of the Social World" and "Structure of the Living World". He emphasized the intersubjective characteristics of the everyday world , the world is "ours" rather than "mine"; the social world is a system in an objective sense, but a meaning shared by capable subjects.
  2. Michel Foucault: Madness and Civilization, Words and Things, Discipline and Punishment, A History of Sexuality
  3. Anthony Giddens : The Constitution of Society, Nation-State and Violence, Consequences of Presentity, The Third Way. Giddens tried to overcome the theoretical dilemma between determinism and volitionism that overemphasizes action, and believed that social structure is produced and reproduced through people's actions. On the one hand, social structure does restrict people's behavior, but on the other hand People can also actively act on and react to social structures in their daily activities, so the theory is called structural theory.
  4. Jurgen Habermas: "The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere", "Science and Technology as Ideology", "The Crisis of Legitimacy", "The Theory of Communicative Action"
  5. Pierre Bourdieu: Outline of Theory of Practice, Segmentation, National Elite, Practice and Reflection

Section 3 One Hundred Years of Chinese Sociology

  • The historical conditions for the introduction of sociology to China:
  1. A group of outstanding intellectuals such as Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, Tan Sitong, Yan Fu, Zhang Taiyan (Zhang Binglin) were amazed at their governance system and strategies when they came into contact with Western theories
  2. The scholar who put forward the name of "Sociology" in the book "Benevolence" is: Tan Sitong
  3. The one who set up "Group Learning" in Wanmu Thatched Cottage in Changxing, Guangzhou is: Kang Youwei
  • The Establishment of the Disciplinary Status of Early Sociology in China
  • Team and Institutional Construction: Western Missionaries, Study Abroad Personnel, and Translated Works
  1. Sociology Team Formation
  2. Institutionalization of schooling
  3. Establishment of academic societies
  4. Publication of periodicals and monographs
  • The rise of social surveys
  1. Early Autonomous Social Inquiry
  2. Field investigation of Chinese sociologists' new horizons
  • The Introduction and Practice of Marxist Sociology
  1. "Sociology is a science"
  2. Investigation and Research of Chinese Marxists
  • Faculty adjustment and withdrawal of Sociology
  • Maintenance and Revocation: The Reasons Why Chinese Sociology Was Retired
  1. Copy the Soviet model         
  2. own misunderstanding
  • Rehash and Doom
  • Restoration and Reconstruction of Chinese Sociology
  • Rectification of name: In December 1978, the convening of the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee created a favorable external environment for the restoration and reconstruction of Chinese sociology. From February 15th to 18th, 1979, the Preparatory Office of the National Philosophy and Social Science Planning Conference held a "Sociological Symposium" in Beijing to jointly discuss the recovery and reconstruction of sociology. Learn to rectify names.
  • The theory of "five viscera and six internal organs" is Fei Xiaotong's terminology borrowed from traditional Chinese medicine as a metaphor for the construction of sociology.
  1. Five internal organs: academic organizations, professional research institutions, sociology departments of universities, library and reference centers, and publications.
  2. Liu Fu (six basic courses): Introduction to Sociology, Social Survey Research Methods, Social Psychology, Urban and Rural Sociology (Introduction to Community), Cultural Anthropology, and Foreign Social Theories.
  • effect
  • The localization of Chinese sociology: As the organizer and leader of the restoration and reconstruction of social sciences, Fei Xiaotong proposed to build China's own sociology at the beginning, and then proposed to establish a sociology with Chinese characteristics. In May 1982, Fei Xiaotong's speech "Some Opinions on Establishing Sociology in China" at the annual meeting of the Chinese Sociological Association clearly proposed the establishment of "a discipline guided by Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, closely integrated with China's reality, Sociology Serving Socialist Construction" . The basic approach to realize the localization of sociology:
  1. We should take Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of "Three Represents" and the Scientific Outlook on Development as our guides for action, and earnestly carry out research on social phenomena.
  2. The basic task of sociology is to study the coordinated development of economy and society and the socialization of people
  3. Based on the reality of Chinese society, adhere to the integration of theory with practice, combine macro and micro, theoretical research and empirical research, so that sociological research can effectively serve the cause of socialist construction in our country
  4. Adopt a positive attitude, make innovations on the basis of learning from the excellent achievements of foreign sociology and Chinese sociology in the past, gradually establish a theoretical knowledge system of Chinese sociology, and form a Chinese sociology school
  5. Create a team of sociology professionals who are willing and able to fight for this

Chapter 2 Sociological Research Methods

Section 1 The research object, characteristics and functions of sociology

  • object of study in sociology

Sociology : A social science that studies the relationship between individuals and society.

  1. The word sociology was first proposed by Auguste Comte, who believed that sociology is the science of studying society
  2. Durkheim: sociology the science of social facts
  3. Weber: Sociology is the science of social action
  4. Sorokin: Sociology is the science of social relations
  5. Georg Simmel : Sociology is a social science that studies the relationship between the individual and society . "Sociology-Research on the Forms of Socialization" "Basic Issues of Sociology: Individuals and Society", he opposed positivism, believed that society is a real existence independent of individuals, and also opposed the abstract and only The existence of the individual is the real point of view, and the unity of the society and the individual is advocated. In 1908 and 1917, he published two books, "Sociology—A Study on the Form of Socialization" and "Basic Problems of Sociology: Individual and Society", which profoundly discussed and studied the interaction between individual and society. relation.
  • Features of Sociology :
  1. Holistic : Sociology examines and analyzes the relationship between individuals and society from a holistic perspective. This integrity is the most basic feature determined by the founders of sociology and insisted on by later generations. The most important perspective of the so-called sociological imagination is integrity.
  2. Comprehensiveness : two meanings:
  1. Compared with political science, economics, law and other disciplines, society does not specialize in the study of a social phenomenon, but studies the relationship between individuals and society in all social phenomena, which is not available in other disciplines.
  2. The comprehensiveness of sociology is also reflected in its search for regularity from the general connections of various social phenomena.
  1. Empirical: After sociology has become an independent discipline, it always takes the empirical knowledge obtained from social survey research as the basis for the development of the discipline .
  2. Applicability:
  1. The knowledge of sociology is very close to social life. It is practiced and experienced by people in daily life. Mastering sociology can help people use sociology to understand and analyze public problems in social life more consciously.
  2. Sociology focuses on the practical problems in social life, and is also the concern of all members of society
  3. The theories, methods and research results of sociology can be used not only by the government, but also by groups and ordinary people
  • The function of sociology: After sociology was restored and rebuilt, Fei Xiaotong said: I think the most fundamental task of sociology is to solve the problem of how a person living in society learns to be a human being. This refers to the educational function of sociology.
  • Research functions: descriptive function, explanatory function, predictive function, normative function
  1. Descriptive functions: Refers to those exploratory studies conducted to understand and grasp what happened and what happened . Its purpose is to ascertain and describe in detail the specific laws of the occurrence and change of social things and phenomena;
  2. Explanatory function: refers to the process of explaining the subjective and objective factors that affect the occurrence and change of social facts from their causal connection; "why"
  3. Predictive function: to remind future social events and status;
  4. Normative function: It is the process of determining social goals and the actions and means adopted to achieve the predetermined goals, and evaluating the rationality and feasibility of social goals, actions and means. Sociological research should also answer the question of "what should be" on the basis of answering "what will be".
  • Educational functions: 1. Help people complete socialization consciously; 2. Help people choose rationally
  • Social management functions: 1. Establish norms; 2. Provide models; 3. Feedback information
  • The function of social criticism: Another aspect of sociology's participation in society is to expose old ideas, old concepts, and things and behaviors that hinder social progress, conduct theoretical analysis in a realistic manner, and put forward opinions and suggestions to overcome and solve problems.

Section 2 Methodology of Sociological Research

  • The main issues discussed in the meaning of sociological research methodology:
  1. the nature of social phenomena;
  2. Sociological research methods and basic assumptions;
  3. The Role of Value in Social Research
  • Positivist methodology: refers to the theory of methods that follow the laws of nature and use universal causal laws to study social phenomena; represented by Comte's "Course in Positive Philosophy"; and matured through Durkheim's "Code of Sociological Method". The basic viewpoints of positivist methodology:
  1. Both social phenomena and natural phenomena exist objectively, and the laws of natural science are also applicable to the study of social phenomena
  2. The purpose of science is to explain the causality of phenomena, and on this basis to predict the future development trend of phenomena
  3. Advocate for empirical research and social investigation
  4. Statistically oriented, with particular emphasis on quantitative research methods
  • Humanistic methodology: also known as anti-positivist methodology; representatives: William Dilthey and Max Weber . They believe that people have free will, and they must not follow the methods of natural sciences to study social sciences, but can only use humanistic research methods. Basic point of view:
  1. Emphasize the difference between natural science and social science. It is believed that natural science is to explore the general laws of nature, while social science is to explain the connection of individual and specific things in society. It is non-repeatable and has no general laws;
  2. The purpose of sociological theoretical research is to "understand" rather than "explain"
  3. It is believed that sociological research should be based on the micro level, starting from everyday and ordinary things, and studying the explanations made by human beings to social phenomena and the meanings given to them, rather than simply reducing to the level of natural laws.
  • Marxist Sociological Methodology: Basic Viewpoints:
  1. recognize objective social laws
  2. Society is constantly developing and changing, and the social process is the result of the interaction between people
  3. Historical materialism, emphasizing the historical practice of human beings, paying attention to the social and material environment that restricts human actions
  • Main schools of contemporary sociological methodology:
  • Post-positivism: Popper's falsification theory; Kuhn's "scientific revolution theory" and "paradigm theory"
  1. Acknowledging the historicity, pluralism, development and relativity of theory
  2. Various methods in social science research have rationality and limitations, and the diversity of methods is recognized, and research methods are determined by specific topics
  3. Emphasize the quantitative processing of data in the dimension of social life
  4. Emphasize a "value-free" research that ignores or downplays the underlying assumptions and values ​​of those who conduct such scientific research.
  • New Humanism: In the late 1980s, it was also called New Weberism. Norbert Elias' "Sign Theory" pointed out that signs are not abstract and static, and the formation of signs is the product of the combination of biological, social and personal processes.
  • Critical hermeneutic theory: Gadamer's "Truth and Method" is known as a milestone in "examining truth from the perspective of historical hermeneutics".
  1. Emphasize reflection and criticism, and constantly transform the imperfections of the existing society
  2. Emphasis on reaching consensus through "non-forced communication"
  • Postmodernism: A philosophical trend formed in the field of culture and literature in the 1980s. The main points:
  1. Against the distinction between subject and object of research
  2. Oppose the modern scientific view of time and space, and oppose the existing understanding of time and space and history with a holistic view
  3. against modern science's view of truth
  4. Against the Dualism of Appearance and Essence
  5. against ontology

  2. Discover new facts that were previously unknown and unexplained through experiments, and establish new theories
  • Advantages and disadvantages of social experiments
  • Differences between sociological experiments and natural science experiments
  1. The object of the experiment is small groups and human activities, not objects, and the experimenter and the experimentee will interact with each other

  3. The conditions and measures of the experiment are difficult to control, firstly, the experimental object is difficult to control; secondly, the situation is difficult to control
  • Documentation method: also known as document method, program method and non-intervention research method.
  • The meaning of the literature method and the source of the literature: it does not directly compare the research object to the need for information, but collects existing literature in the form of text, numbers, symbols, voice, pictures, etc., without affecting the research object. Methods of analyzing and exploring the phenomena of personal and social relationships . Document sources: official documents, personal documents, mass media.

第三章 社会与文化

第一节 什么是社会

  • 社会的涵义与特征
  • 社会的涵义:是人们交互作用中产生的各种社会关系的总和;社会的两大派别:唯实论和唯名论。
  1. 唯实论:认为社会不仅是个体的集合,而且是一个客观存在的实体,有其自身的发展规律;
  2. 唯名论:认为社会只是一种集合名称,而非实体,真正客观存在的只是个人。
  • 社会的特征:
  1. 社会以人为主体:人是社会关系系统最基本的要素,是社会生活的开拓者。
  2. 社会以人们的物质生产活动为基础
  3. 社会以人与人的交往为纽带
  4. 社会来源于自然又不同于自然
  • 社会结构概念与类型
  • 社会结构概念:是指社会诸要素之间在相互作用过程中形成的相对稳定的关系。

从三个方面把握生产关系结构:①人们对生产资料的关系,即劳动者与生产资料的结合形式②劳动者在生产中相互交换活动的关系,即人与人之间的合作方式③劳动产品的分配关系以及由它所直接决定的消费关系。

  • 社会结构类型:
  1. 关系性社会结构:指社会结构按照一定的秩序和一定的相互关系组合,这种相互关系是社会结构的本质
  2. 实体性社会结构:指导社会结构由一些作为社会实体的基本单元和要素构成
  3. 规范性社会结构:指导社会结构中的各种社会实体同时作为社会规范而存在着
  • 社会建设与社会管理
  • 社会建设:在社会领域不断建立和完善各种能够合理配置资源和机会的社会体制和运行机制。(20世纪,孙中山《建国方略》从心理建设、物质建设、社会建设三个方面完整地阐述了实现中国现代化的伟大理想和实施方案)。
  • 社会管理:政府和社会组织为促进社会系统协调运行,对社会系统的组成部分、社会生活的不同领域以及社会发展的各个环节进行组织、协调、监督和控制的过程。
  1. 从主体上看,具有多样性
  2. 从手段上看,最重要的是制度建设和道德建设

Mead divides the self into two parts: the "host self" and the "guest self".
  • Kohlberg's stage theory of moral consciousness development : It is believed that children find their own moral values ​​as they grow older, and the moral standards accepted by children in all cultures around the world are basically the same, such as caring for others, equality reciprocity etc. Moral development is divided into three levels and six stages : ①Pre-routine level: the first stage is the obedience and punishment stage, and the second stage is the relative utilitarian stage; ②Routine level: the third stage is the good boy stage, and the fourth stage is the The stage of legal order; ③ Post-routine level: the fifth stage is the stage of social contract legitimacy, and the sixth stage is the stage of universal ethical principles.

  • Organizational Management Theory
  • Scientific management theory: In order for an organization to achieve its goals more effectively, the structure and processes of the organization must be scientific and rationalized. Representatives: American engineer Taylor and French management scientist Fayol;
  • Interpersonal relationship theory: People are the most important factor in an organization. People are not simple production tools, but have complex personalities and multi-faceted needs . Representatives: Harvard University professors Mayo and Roy Risberg (Hawthorne experiment), the basic viewpoints of interpersonal relationship theory:
  1. People are the most important factor in an organization. People are not simple production tools, but have complex personalities and various needs;
  2. The reasons that affect the enthusiasm of employees are not mainly physical factors and physiological factors, but mainly social factors, psychological factors and interpersonal relationships. The interpersonal relationship theory opposes Taylor and other scientific management theorists who regard people as "talking machines". ", or people's activities are only driven by money, and people are considered to be "social people" . This theory was gradually formed by the famous Huo under the guidance of professors Mayo and Royce Riesberg of Harvard University.
  3. Interpersonal relationship theory has brought breakthrough enlightenment to update people's understanding of organizational management:
  • The theory of interpersonal relationship requires organizational management to pay attention to the influence of non-economic factors, and believes that production efficiency depends on social norms rather than physiological capabilities;
  • Interpersonal relationship theory emphasizes the role of group identity of organizational members on organizational management, and believes that organizational members usually participate in organizational activities not as individuals but as informal groups
  • Interpersonal relationship theory requires organizations to manage interpersonal communication, and believes that interpersonal communication between organizational leaders and organizational members, including formal and informal communication, will affect the efficiency of organizational actions and the enthusiasm of organizational members.

Representative: Barnard proposed: Organizational Balance Theory, which believes that the existence of an organization depends on the balance maintained between the contribution and satisfaction of its members. McGregor put forward the "X" and "Y" theories, and differentiated and analyzed the theoretical assumptions behind different management models. (X refers to an autocratic management theory; Y theory refers to a humanitarian and helpful management theory)
  • Contingency theory: also known as situation theory, it is believed that organizational management is not only related to the organization itself, but also involves the relationship between the organization and the environment. ways and actions. Representatives : American psychologists John Moores and Jay Rosch (super " Y " theory)

The basic point of view of super "Y" theory:

  1. people come to work organizations with different needs and motivations
  2. Different people have different requirements for organizational management
  3. Factors such as organizational goals, nature of work, and employee quality have a great impact on the efficiency of organizational structure and leadership styles

Section 3 Collective Behavior

  • What is collective behavior:
  1. Concept: Refers to the non-institutionalized behavior that is largely formed spontaneously and participated by many individuals in the absence of definite organizational procedures and institutional norms.
  2. Characteristics of collective behavior :
  1. Mass nature : Collective action always appears as the joint action of a considerable number of people;
  2. Spontaneity : group behavior that is not prearranged in routine life
  3. Unorganized : Collective behavior examines those group behaviors ranging from completely unorganized to those with a relatively low degree of organization.
  4. Deinstitutionalization : Always formed outside the system.
  • Traditional Explanations of Collective Behavior
  • Le Pen's mob theory: Once many individuals form a group, they will have a unique collective psychology. This collective psychology will cause individuals to involuntarily lose the ability to think rationally through mutual emotional infection, and their behavior It will be very different from when you are alone, and your mind will become simple. It will be very easy for people to accept the opinions, ideas and beliefs provided by the group without doubt, and blindly imitate the behavior and attitudes of others in the group.
  • Smelser's value accumulation theory (6 factors): It is believed that collective behavior cannot be explained purely from a psychological point of view, but the formation of collective behavior should be linked to social structure. Only under the combined influence of the following six factors will collective behavior be induced:
  1. structural contributors
  2. structural tension
  3. generalized belief
  4. Precipitating factors
  5. mobilization
  6. social control
  • Rational Choice Theory of Collective Action
  • Olson's free-rider theory: The hypothesis is that if individuals are more rational and the group size is larger, then the group is less likely to behave collectively. In his book, Olsen proposed a way to solve the free-rider dilemma: since the goal pursued by collective action is public goods, public goods can only provide a collective incentive for individuals; If it is not enough to make a changing person fight for a public good, then a selective incentive is needed. The so-called selective incentive refers to giving corresponding benefits to group members who put in more efforts in collective actions, thereby attracting individuals to make greater efforts in collective actions.
  • The resource mobilization theory of social movements:

The resources needed for social movement include: time resources, scale of participants, money and material resources, external support, and conceptual resources

Chapter VIII Education, Labor and Consumption

Section 1 Education

  • Concepts and Types of Education
  • The connotation of education: education in a broad sense refers to all social practice activities that spread and learn the achievements of human civilization—knowledge, skill and experience, so as to promote individual socialization and social individualization; education in a narrow sense refers to school education, that is, institutionalized education .

  1. From the places where education takes place: family education, school education, social education
  1. 家庭教育的主要目的:①促进儿童身心健康发展,为接受学校教育作准备;②配合学校教育,使儿童在德、智、体等方面正常发展。
  1. 从个体对教育的需求分:生存教育、地位教育
  1. 生存教育:指一个人为适应当下社会的基本生存而必须接受的教育。
  2. 地位教育:指一切超出基本生存所必需的教育之外的出于维护社会地位需求的教育类型。(特点:)
            • 地位教育与一个时代的现实生存条件没有必然的联系,接受某种教育是出于表现地位角色的需要。
            • 地位教育是获得上层社会地位的直接手段之一
            • 地位教育具有较为强烈的排他性,对某一个阶层是一种权利,而对别一个阶层却是遥不可得的
            • 地位教育是一种不平等的教育。
  • 现代学校教育的社会功能
  • 杜威等学者的观点
  1. 美国-约翰杜威:教育的首要功能是社会化。他提出“教育即生活”“教育即改造”“学校即社会”和“儿童中心论”等观点中。
  2. 美国-罗伯特・默顿:大量社会现象都可能同时存在着显功能与潜功能。显功能,即系统参与方有意客观后果,其潜功能即系统参与方无意图的,未认识到的后果。
  • 现代学校教育的显功能

  • 现代学校教育的潜功能
  1. 建立未来人际关系
  2. 减少就业压力
  3. 社会控制的功能
  • 教育的社会学分析视角
  • 功能论视角下的教育:由社会学家涂尔干提出,强调要寻找一个社会事实的功能,应该看它与某种社会目标的关系。帕森斯继承了此学说,他认为人的社会化是社会稳定运行的前提条件和基础,而社会化的过程包含在分配和整合之中,即社会化使得不同的人获得不同的技能以适应分工需要(分配),同时社会化还能让人们欣然接受分配必然带来的社会不平等(整合)。但此学说也有问题:①遵循这一思路的教育研究无法处理社会变迁的问题。②教育的功能分析建立了一种宏大的理论模型,它关注了社会大系统之间的关系,却忽略了系统内部行动者之间的关系与互动,包括行动的主观意图和动机、行动的方式以及社会情景与结果等诸多微观方面问题。
  • 冲突论视角下的教育:社会秩序不是建立在对共同价值的一致认可上,而是建立在统治阶级的控制权力上。
  • 互动论视角下的教育:被称为“人本主义”和微观取向,它将视角引入到具体的教育中,引入到人与人的互动关系中。
  • 教育和社会不平等
  • 教育不平等现象
  1. 体现在教育资源分配的不平等;
  2. 教育没有带来大规模的向上社会流动;
  3. 受教育的机会在很长一段时间内都被精英阶层控制着。
  • 教育不平等的社会学分析
  1. 对制度化教育的批判:伊凡・伊利奇(制度化教育的批判:)
  1. 学校正在为各种受压抑、互相隔阂和失去人性的社会服务,其实质是维护现存秩序的社会工具
  2. 在学校中,学习和教育都是强迫性的,它要求达到一定年龄的儿童在教师的监管下整天学习强制性的课程,是“没有快乐的机构”
  3. 除常规的至少传授之外,学校还传授一些“隐形的课程”,即一种价值观的宣讲——只有通过学校教育才能为每个人成长为社会人做准备,学校中不传授的东西几乎没有什么价值,校外学到的东西是无价值的
  4. 只有发动一场“去学校化”的变革,使教与学重新具有个人责任感,才能回归学习与教育本来的意义
  1. Education and cultural capital: receiving the same education, but Deng De's learning (academic) achievements may vary from person to person. French sociologist Bourdieu refuted it from the perspective of the reproduction of cultural capital: ①Different social classes have different ways of thinking, expression habits and cultural capital ②The speaking styles and tastes shown by children of lower classes are often different from those expressed The school environment with the mainstream values ​​of the society is incompatible, so in the process of learning, they show more adaptability difficulties and lack the motivation for self-improvement. ③The cultural capital and thinking habits of middle-class children are more coordinated with school requirements, so they are more adaptable to school life and more likely to achieve academic success.
  2. The "subculture" of working-class children:
  1. Children of the working class do not necessarily have lower career expectations and self-awareness, that is, they are willing to become the lower class of society
  2. They usually have good practical survivability in their own field of life
  3. The boy group (dude) made up of working kids has its own subculture
  4. In the process of employment after graduation, labor children do not agree with the mainstream social values ​​of the school, but appreciate blue-collar culture and choose it as their job-seeking intention
  5. When they become adults, they may realize the significance of education for social class mobility, and begin to teach the next generation to accept mainstream educational concepts

  1. The assembly line operation and its corresponding work organization formed by production mechanization, automation and standardization have greatly improved the labor productivity of standardized products through large-scale production;
  2. The struggle between labor and capital has changed from the struggle of labor and capital over the control of the work process to the struggle of guaranteeing employment rights and wage determination, and finally formed a new form of labor-capital relations centered on the collective bargaining system of labor and capital;
  3. The production process combining specialized machine investment and low-skilled workers increases the organic composition of capital, reduces the impact of high organic composition of capital on the rate of profit by accelerating capital consortiums, and promotes the process of vertical integration among firms, thereby forming market structure of monopolistic competition.
  • Post-Fordism: Refers to the new capitalist accumulation mode and the production and labor mode of social economic structure centered on non-mass production methods such as lean production and flexible specialization. (feature:)

As information processing resources are more and more controlled in the front-line work area of ​​the enterprise, the autonomy of the work team increases, and the internal coordination information of the enterprise has undergone a transformation from centralized processing to decentralized processing.
  4. The relationship between labor and capital has changed from an adversarial competitive relationship under Fordism to a relationship of mutual cooperation and trust to a certain extent.
  • Critique of Labor Process in Contemporary Capitalism
  1. Braverman's theory of oppressive mechanisms: hints at the mechanism by which capitalists in the labor process during monopoly capitalism completely deprive workers of control over labor.
  2. Burawoy's production regime theory: It suggests that the political effect of the capitalist labor process and the political normative tools of production together constitute a unique production regime of the factory.

Buck and Yan Yangchu attracted attention from all over the world at the beginning of the establishment of the United Nations. In November 1945, when the first meeting of UNESCO was held in Paris, Chinese representative Qu Shiying and Yan Yangchu attended the meeting. Ding County's rural construction work experience, Yan Yangchu himself also gave a speech at the United Nations in 1949.

Section 2 China's urbanization process

  • The Historical Background of China's Urban Generation
  1. Four characteristics of urbanization in the period of the Republic of China:
  1. Commercialization is stronger than industrialization, and industry, commerce, cities and urban populations are highly concentrated along the coast
  2. There are very few big cities, and the urban development is deformed and bloated
  3. Urban road facilities are extremely backward
  4. The nature of cities is mostly consumption parasitism, and they have become strongholds for imperialism, bureaucratic compradors, and feudal landlords to squeeze the people, forming serious urban-rural antagonisms, coastal and inland antagonisms
  • The Three Stages of China's Urbanization
  1. The first stage (1949-1957) is a steady start stage
  2. The second stage (1958-1977) is a stage of ups and downs
  3. The third stage (1978 to the present) is the stage of accelerated development
  • Planning and Evolution of Urban Agglomerations in China (Existing Problems:)
  1. 城市群形成过程的人为因素过大,行政干预过高,缺乏市场机制的自然发育期
  2. 城市群的形成和发展依然受限于现存行政体制的束缚,利益的矛盾和冲突易发,降低了整体和各自的效率和效益
  3. 城市群的人口和经济总量在全国的比重还不高,对全国城乡协调发展和经济社会协调发展的拉动还有限
  4. 城市群内部结构还不完善,大中小城市还比较少,缺乏连接中心城市与众多小城镇和广大农村之间的中间环节
  5. 城市群空间分布不均衡,特别是人口和经济分布不协调,产业结构重叠严重

第三节 中国城镇化道路的选择与小城镇的建设

  • 中国城镇化道路选择的不同观点:
  1. 大中城市论:根据中国经济发展现状,在相当长时期内,城镇化的主要动力将来源于大中城市的扩张。
  2. 均衡发展论:又称为城市休息网络论,中国的城镇应该建立以大城市为领导,以中等城市为骨干,以各类小城镇为基础的多层次、多功能的网络系统。
  3. 多元模式论:主张城镇化道路应该考虑到巨大的地域差异
  4. 小城镇重点论:中国建设社会主义,从根本上看首先要把2/3的农村剩余劳动力转移到工业方面去,使整个国家的多数人口成为非农业劳动者。
  • 中国城镇化的方针:于1978年提出“控制大城市,多搞小城市”的城镇化方针。1980年10月,全国城镇化工作会议提出了“控制大城市规模,合理发展中等城市,积极发展小城镇”的城镇建设方针。
  • 促进中国小城镇的健康发展
  • 城镇化道路的可持续发展:
  1. 小城镇建设要有科学规划
  2. 小城镇建设规模要适度
  3. 小城镇建设要重视生态环境保护
  4. 建立健全健康发展的体制机制
  • 中国小城镇健康发展的体制机制:
  1. 建立与城镇化健康发展相适应的财税、征地、行政管理和公共服务等制度
  2. 加快小城镇住房、就业、医疗、教育和社会保障制度的市场化改革
  3. 加快对小城镇建设的投入,在政府引导下主要通过发挥市场机制的作用,引导社会资金投入小城镇开发
  4. 在保护耕地和保障农民合法权益的前提下,妥善解决小城市建设用地
  5. 改革小城镇管理体制,尽快形成符合小城镇经济社会特点的行政管理体制
  6. In particular, it is necessary to strengthen the civic quality education of residents in small towns, so that they can adapt to the urban culture as much as possible and assume the responsibility of town builders.

Chapter 11 Social Stratification and Social Mobility

Section 1 Social Inequality

  • What is social inequality: broad sense refers to social differences, any differences between individuals or groups (represented by Jean-Jacques Rousseau: ① natural or physical inequality ② spiritual or political inequality); narrow sense is Refers to class differences among individuals or groups.
  • Related Concepts of Social Inequality
  • gender and age
  1. It refers to the physiological and psychological differences between men and women, which are mainly manifested in six aspects:
  1. In terms of language expression: female wins
  2. In terms of vision and balance ability: male wins
  3. Logical thinking and mathematics: Male wins
  4. Tactile aspect: female wins
  5. Competitiveness and aggressiveness: Men win
  6. Memory and Observation: Female Wins
  • caste, race and class
  1. Caste: A social hierarchy that divides members of society into different groups based on blood, blood and occupation.
  2. Race: Also known as race, it refers to a group of people who have the genetic characteristics of living together in terms of institutional form.
  3. Class: Refers to groups or social groups that are distinguished from each other by economic status and political and legal status.
  • class and class
  1. Class: Refers to such groups that, because of their different positions in social production in history, their relationship to the means of production, and their roles in social labor organizations, they have received their share of social labor. The way and amount of wealth are also different.
  2. Class: One refers to the hierarchical division within the class, and the other refers to groups with different social status.
  • Social division of labor and social inequality
  • Private ownership and the emergence of human inequality: as early as the 18th century, the French Enlightenment thinker Rousseau put forward the book "On the Origin and Foundation of Human Inequality", which clearly stated that the emergence of human inequality came with private ownership and was established. On the sole basis established by private ownership. "The earliest exponent of the theory of division of labor," Adam Smith , first created the concept of "division of labor" in his book "A Study of the Nature and Causes of National Wealth" and expounded the relationship between social division of labor and class formation.
  • Social division of labor and social inequality:
  1. Marx and Engels' theory of social division of labor: Marx's theory of class division holds that the fundamental criterion of class division is the ownership relationship to the means of production.
  1. There is a difference between the natural division of labor and the real division of labor
  2. It is a qualitative leap from natural division of labor to real division of labor
  3. The unequal distribution of products and private ownership of products arose alongside the real division of labor
  4. The development of the division of labor led to the separation of material labor and spiritual labor
  5. The largest division of labor between material labor and spiritual labor is the separation of cities and villages
  6. In a society of class antagonisms, the development of the division of labor is of a contradictory nature
  • Two research traditions of social inequality: stage analysis and stratification research constitute two research traditions of social inequality.
  1. Hierarchical analysis: class struggle is the key to understanding the historical development of mankind (including the evolution of social inequality), and its conflict theory assumptions about social inequality are clearly reflected in the Communist Manifesto.
  2. Stratification research: refers to the social inequality research tradition that focuses on the distribution and acquisition of "life opportunities". three phases:
  1. Weber's discourses on class, status groups, and normality constitute the theoretical sources of the tradition;
  2. K. Davies and W. Moore, who provided the earliest and clearest formulations of the functionalist layering principle
  3. Blau and Duncan, they solved the operational problem of functional stratification research methodologically, and laid the foundation for social stratification as the mainstream paradigm of social inequality research
  1. Differences: The two have different ontological assumptions about what social inequality is.

Section 2 Social Stratification

  • The concept of social stratification is the unequal distribution of social resources in society. Social stratification includes two basic contents: social stratification structure and social mobility.
  • Related Theories of Social Stratification
  • Social Stratification Theory of Classical Sociologists
  1. Marxist Theory of Social Stratification
  1. The existence of classes is only related to a certain historical stage in the development of production
  2. Class struggle will inevitably lead to the dictatorship of the proletariat
  3. This dictatorship itself is nothing but a transition to the abolition of all classes and to a classless society
  1. Weber's social stratification theory: Weber mainly understands this concept from the possession relationship of production capital. In Weber's view, the category of class means the influence of various economic factors on people's life opportunities. These two Criteria: property occupancy status and market conditions. Weber believed that the three dimensions (three criteria) of economy, politics and society have relatively independent influences on social stratification and have different sources. Therefore, when we investigate the phenomenon of social stratification, we need to adopt Diverse standards.
  1. Weber distinguished four classes:
  • the upper propertied class, that is, the class with a huge advantage in property possession
  • The dominant occupational class, that is, the class that has an advantage in the market situation
  • The petty bourgeoisie, that is, those who have some but not obvious advantages in both property and market conditions
  • The working class, whose jobs often require only very simple skill training, are therefore in a weaker market position in capitalist society
  1. Three dimensions constructed by Weber:
  • Class categories: provide economic criteria for social stratification
  • Status category: Provides social criteria for social stratification
  • Normal category: Provides political criteria for social stratification
  1. Pareto's elite theory: divided into ruling elites and non-governing elites. It is believed that the composition of the ruling elite class and its status are not constant, and as time goes by, members of the ruling group may be promoted or degraded. In 1916, "General Sociology" was published, which systematically expounded the theory of elite class.
  • contemporary social stratification theory
  1. Functionalist theory of social stratification: social stratification is the embodiment of social inequality; the reason why social stratification is common in all ages and societies is because of the needs of the social operation process.  Representatives: K. Davis and W. Moore
  1. K. Davies and W. Moore jointly published "Several Principles of Stratification" layered view:
  • There are some positions in any society that are more important than others and require special talents and skills to fill them
  • These talented people need to go through a certain period of training before they can work, and pay for it
  • Correspondingly, their future positions must have attractive special value
  • The society gives preference to these special talents in terms of rewards, so all members of society will benefit from this
  • The difference in the pay of these positions is the so-called status gap in social stratification.
  • It is manifested as social stratification differences in the enjoyment of rare items and status and prestige, which has positive functions for society and is an inevitable social phenomenon
  1. The Defects of Functionalist Theory of Social Stratification
  • An endowed or inherited advantage that may affect the logic of different resource allocations
  • People with strong abilities may not always get substantial incentives such as high pay
  • Inequality in education leads to not necessarily equal access to status
  • In general, social stratification does not ensure that the most talented people fill the most important roles or train them to fill those roles
  1. Social stratification in conflict theory: Emphasizing the role of conflict in the formation of inequality. The representative is Dahuadov, who believes that the origin of social stratification lies in the fact that in any society, individuals or groups must enforce rewards and punishments, and this ability to implement means the existence of power relations.
  • Social Stratification and Its Changes in Contemporary China
  • The class structure before the founding of New China (Mao Zedong's "Analysis of the Classes in Chinese Society")
  1. The landlord class and the comprador class: the class representing the most backward and reactionary production relations in China
  2. national bourgeoisie
  3. petty bourgeoisie
  4. semi-proletarian
  5. The proletariat: the industrial workers of modern industry, is the leading force of the revolution.
  6. nomad class
  7. Peasant class: rich peasants, owner farmers (middle peasants), semi-owner farmers, farm laborers
  • The class structure before the reform and opening up

1949-1952: It was called the period of national economic recovery in history; 1953-1956: It was the period of socialist transformation.

In 1977, the status of classes and strata in Chinese society:

  1. working class
  2. Peasant class
  3. intellectual class
  • The Class Structure of Chinese Society Since the Reform and Opening Up
  1. State and Social Managers

  5. clerical class
  6. self-employed business class
  7. business service workers
  8. industrial working class
  9. agricultural labor class
  10. Urban and rural unemployed, unemployed, and semi-unemployed strata
  • social mobility
  • Concepts and Types of Social Mobility
  • The concept of social mobility refers to the change of social members from one social status or occupation to another.
  1. Sorokin's book "Social Mobility" published in 1927 is considered by the sociological circles to be the first work on social mobility from a modern perspective .
  2. Social mobility research mainly involves three levels of issues:
  1. Social mobility can be viewed as a dynamic hierarchical system
  2. Social mobility can be regarded as a process of macroscopic social structure change, which includes changes in the entire social class within the entire social hierarchy
  3. Social mobility can be regarded as the change of the position, role and attribute of individual social members in the social stratification system, which means the transformation of social members' relationship
  1. The meaning of social mobility:
  1. Socialized large-scale production objectively requires the realization of labor flow and talent flow, and the rational allocation of labor force
  2. In modern society, the traditional status acquisition model based on personal origin is gradually being replaced by the modern model based on personal performance, and social mobility has become an important way for individuals to obtain social status
  3. Social mobility strengthens the connection between individual talents and achievements and their social status, which is conducive to creating a positive spirit and the vitality of sub-divisional society
  4. Social mobility is conducive to strengthening the connection between various social groups, eliminating possible social barriers, and promoting the social identity of social members, thus playing a positive role in social development.
  • Types of social mobility:
  1. Vertical flow and horizontal flow : vertical flow refers to the upward and downward flow between different levels in the social stratification system, also known as vertical flow, such as farmers becoming entrepreneurs; horizontal flow refers to the same social stratification level. The flow within the same layer is also called horizontal flow, such as farmers leaving their original villages to continue farming in other villages.
  2. Intra-generational flow and intergenerational flow : Intra-generational flow refers to the change of social status in an individual's life, especially in his working life. A farmer becomes a job after entering a factory; intergenerational flow refers to the change of children's status relative to their parents. For example, the father works in agriculture and the daughter becomes a white-collar worker .
  3. Structural flow and free flow : Structural flow is a large-scale social flow caused by production technology or social system, such as the flow of rural population to cities . The transfer of white-collar workers; free mobility, which refers to social mobility not due to system changes but due to personal special reasons ( such as social mobility caused by personal efforts, accidental opportunities, etc. ).
  4. Competitive vs. Sponsored Mobility: Social mobility without human help is the norm. In competitive mobility, the relative social status, which is the goal of open competition, needs to be obtained through the efforts of the suitors themselves. Sponsored mobility refers to the relatively remote social status that is not obtained directly by individuals through competition, but is conferred by those who have already obtained a higher status according to certain predetermined standards, such as a certain position or a certain position. honorary title.
  • Social Mobility in Contemporary China
  • Five large-scale social movements since the founding of New China
  1. 1949-1956: The new social mobility model is marked by the reshaping of the social class structure before the founding of New China
  2. 1957-1965: Constructed a multi-dimensional binary differential hierarchy
  3. 1966-1977: The Cultural Revolution
  4. 1978-1991:
  5. 1922-now
  • The factors and mechanisms that affect social mobility in China are mainly influenced by three factors: at the macro level, it is subject to the social structure and the country’s institutional arrangements; at the medium level, it depends on the work unit and family; at the micro level, it depends on the individual’s acquired efforts .
  1. social mobility caused by the institutional arrangement itself
  2. Institutional Arrangement and Pre-given Factors, Self-induced Social Mobility
  3. Institutional Arrangement Suppresses Social Mobility Caused by Inherent Factors or Self-Induced Factors
  4. Some loopholes or biases in institutional arrangements are exploited by some members of the society, resulting in social mobility
  • The Characteristics of Current Social Mobility in China
  1. Significant changes have taken place in the pattern of social mobility: Before and after the reform, China experienced two patterns of social mobility: the politically dominated social mobility pattern and the economically induced social mobility pattern.
  2. Social structure from closed to open
  3. Social mobility is trending upwards
  4. At present, social mobility in China is still subject to social transformation and system transition, with obvious transformation characteristics
  5. The current social mobility in China is showing some negative trends that are not conducive to social openness and fairness.
  1. The intergenerational inheritance of class mobility is increasing
  2. Major resources such as economic resources, political resources, and cultural resources tend to gather at the upper levels
  3. Some institutional barriers to fair and reasonable social mobility have not been removed, but continue to affect social mobility

Chapter 12 Deviant Behavior and Social Control 

  • what is deviant behavior
  • The concept of deviant behavior:
  1. Deviant behavior: Refers to behaviors in which social members deviate from existing social norms to varying degrees in a particular society, also known as deviant behavior, deviant behavior, and differential behavior.
  2. Social norms: In any society, there is a set of codes of conduct that are binding on the behavior of social members to regulate the social relationship between people and between individuals and society, and to guide the social behavior of social members. This is social norms.
  • Types of Deviant Behavior
  • According to the manifestation of deviant behavior, it can be divided into three types: deviant habit, deviant psychology, and deviant culture
  1. Deviation habits: Refers to the behavior of personal behavior hobbies that are not recognized by society.
  2. Deviation psychology: Refers to behaviors that cannot be performed in regular social interactions or social activities due to psychological or spiritual reasons
  3. Culture of Deviation: Refers to behaviors manifested in a culture that differs from the dominant culture of the society.
  • According to the standards of the social code of conduct that the behavior deviates from, it can be divided into three types: illegal behavior, illegal behavior, and illegal behavior.
  1. Illegal acts: Refers to acts that violate the provisions of national laws, including crimes and illegal acts that do not constitute crimes.
  2. Violation of rules and regulations: Refers to behaviors that violate rules and regulations related to maintaining social security and public order.
  3. Violations: Refers to any behavior that violates established lifestyles and customs.
  • function of deviant behavior
  • Negative function of deviant behavior
  1. interfere with the normal order of social life
  2. Harm the interests of individuals and society
  3. Weaken the willingness of others to follow the norm
  4. destroy mutual trust among members of society
  • positive function of deviant behavior
  1. Help people to further understand social norms
  2. Helps strengthen social cohesion
  3. Contribute to social early warning
  4. contribute to social progress
  • Theoretical Explanation of Deviant Behavior
  • The Biological Explanation of Deviant Behavior and Its Fundamental Flaws

    Biological explanation is to explain the reasons for deviant behaviors from the biological and physiological characteristics of individuals. It assumes that some people are born to be unruly people, so it mainly focuses on finding the personal physiological substances of thought actors, especially emphasizing genetic factors role . The earliest biological explanation was proposed by Italian military doctor Lombroso in the late 19th century. There are three human body types: chubby (easy and comfortable); slender (serious and restrained); and robust (vigorous and insensitive). The biological explanation of deviant behavior is to explain the reasons for the occurrence of thought behaviors from the individual's anger and physiological characteristics. It assumes that some people are naturally unruly people, so it mainly focuses on finding the personal physiological characteristics of deviant behavior, especially Emphasize the role of genetic factors.

  • Psychological Explanation of Deviated Behavior

    Psychological interpretation attaches great importance to the influence of individual psychological factors such as spirit, emotion, and personality on behavior , and believes that thought behavior is due to the individual's psychological inability to learn and abide by relevant social norms. Psychological explanation mainly includes psychoanalysis theory and behavior theory. Austrian psychologist Freud believes that it is not genetics that cause behavioral deviations, but a person's personality formed by an individual's childhood experience that leads to behavioral problems in adulthood.

  • Sociological Explanation of Deviant Behavior
  • Anomie theory: American scholar Merton, an important representative of structural functionalism, applied Durkheim's anomie concept and established the famous anomie theory to explain the occurrence of deviant behavior. Merton believes that there are two kinds of social norms, one is the social norms for the goals pursued by individuals, such as acquiring wealth and good reputation; the other is the norms for the means used by individuals to pursue goals, such as doing business or politics. When members of society have accepted the goals of social norms through socialization, and society provides them with the means to pursue these goals at the same time, then the goals and means are in balance. Social anomie will put people in a state of anomie tension. To alleviate this tension, Merton believes that people may adapt in five ways:
  1. obey
  2. 革新:革新者,即为追求社会鼓励的目标,采用了不被社会认可的手段,甚至是违法的手段。
  3. 形式主义:拒绝社会提供的目标,但仍然遵守社会规范的手段行事。有的学生对于学习了无兴趣,却依然新人家长和老师的意愿每天上学读书,这种偏差行为是形式主义。
  4. 退缩主义:既放弃了社会鼓励的目标,也抛弃了社会认可的手段。
  5. 反叛:不仅拒绝社会认可的目标和手段,而且试图从个人观念出民,以新的目标和手段来替代。当这种偏差行为涉及政治领域时,通常也被称为革命
  • 文化传递理论
  1. 概念:文化传递理论,也称为亚文化理论。这个理论认为偏差行为者表现出来的偏差行为是从其所处的文化环境中习得的,他们不是偏离了社会规范,而是遵循着所在团体的社会规范,他们的行之所以被视为偏差行为,只是因为他们所在团体的规范和主流的社会规范不一致,甚至是矛盾的。
  2. 文化传递理论把社会文化分为:主流文化、亚文化
  • 标签理论:一种行为之所以被视为偏差行为,是因为社会的权力集团给这种行为贴上了偏差的标签,偏差行为只是一种被社会定义为偏差的行为。
  • 社会控制
  • 什么是社会控制
  • 社会控制的概念:
  1. 社会控制最早是由美国社会学家罗斯在其《社会控制》一书中所提出并加以阐述的。
  2. 广义的社会控制:指社会组织通过社会规范以及相应的方式和手段,对社会成员的社会行为进行指导和限制,对各类社会关系加以调节和制约,对社会成员的价值观进行引导和约束的过程。
  3. 狭义的社会控制:主要指对偏差行为给予惩处和重新教育的过程。
  4. 控制的三个方面:
  1. 对社会行为的控制:社会控制首先是对社会成员的社会行为予以制约,要求社会成员按照社会规范去行事。
  2. 对社会关系的控制:还表现在对社会成员的社会关系的控制和协调上。
  3. 对社会价值的控制:根本上是对社会成员的思想、观念和意识的控制。
  • 社会控制的特点
  1. 普遍性:社会控制的普遍性表现在任何社会以及社会发展的任何阶段,社会控制总是存在的。
  2. 规范性:指社会是盲目进行的,而是朝着设定的目标来实施的
  3. 多重性:对于社会成员 的方式不是单一的,而是多样的。
  • 社会控制的必要性
  1. 社会控制的必要性首先表现在个人与个人之间、个人与社会之间的目标不一致
  2. 社会控制的必要性表现在稳定各种社会关系上
  3. 社会控制的必要性体现在制止社会生活中各种失控现象方面
  • 社会控制的类型
  • 宏观控制和微观控制
  1. 宏观控制:是指社会利用法律、政策、条令等手段对整个社会加以控制,包括政治、经济、文化等方面
  2. 微观控制:相对于宏观控制而言,在社会生活的各个具体领域所实现的控制,这些领域涉及人们最基本的社会生活需求。
  • 制度化控制和非制度化控制
  1. 制度化控制:指按照一整套条文规定,有某种组织体系加以推行的一种社会控制形式
  2. 非制度化控制:指社会控制的形式并不以明文规定的条文来实现,而是通过社会成员日常互动所形成的共识来实现
  • 外在控制和内在控制
  1. 外在控制:指利用外部社会力量促使社会成员遵从社会规范。
  2. 内在控制:指行为者个人将社会规范内化为自己持有的观念,从而自觉地按照社会规范的要求约束自己的社会行为。“君子戒慎乎其所不睹、恐惧乎其所不闻”,就是要求人们即使在没有其他人在场,也就是没有外部力量监督的情况下,仍然能够把握自己,不放纵自己的行为,严于律已。内在控制强调社会规范的习得和内化,社会成员不是被迫而是自觉地遵从社会规范,这是社会控制最有效的方式。
  • 积极性控制和消极性控制
  1. 积极性控制:指利用奖励手段来鼓励社会成员遵从社会规范,包括物质奖励和精神奖励。例如学校为了促使学生努力学习,建立奖学金、跳级等激励机制来奖励学习成绩优秀的学生,同时也鼓励其他学生迎头赶上。
  2. 消极性控制:指利用惩罚手段来防止社会成员的偏差行为。刑法就是通过明确对犯罪行为的惩罚来取得一种禁止犯罪的威慑力,学校也会设置一些惩罚机制,比如记过、开除学籍等手段生违反学校的规章制度。
  • 社会控制的方式
  • 法律控制:是由国家制定或认可,以强制力保证其实施的一种社会规范。
  • Moral control : People agree on a set of value standards for distinguishing right from wrong, good from evil, and justice from injustice in collective life. Moral control usually does not rely on state violence to achieve, but relies on education, public opinion and individual inner preference to urge people to abide by moral norms.
  • Customary control : The code of conduct that people gradually form and abide by in collective life is the most basic and primitive form of social control in human life.
  • religious control
  • The Moderation Problem of Social Control
  1. Social control is the process of guiding and restricting people's social behavior, so the relationship between people and society is a problem. Therefore, the problem of the appropriateness of social control is before us, that is to say, to avoid social "out of control" or social "over control". The so-called social over-control refers to over-emphasizing the aspect of social control and ignoring the individual expression and freedom requirements of social members. The so-called loss of social control refers to the relative weakening of social control and the improvement of the freedom of social members. Both of these situations are not conducive to the coordination of social relations, and are not conducive to the exertion of the overall effect of society. They should be avoided as much as possible, and once discovered, they must be overcome and corrected in time.
  2. To understand this problem, one must see the dialectic between social control and individual freedom. Individual freedom in any society is not absolute, and absolute individual freedom is impossible to realize. Therefore, social control only restricts and restricts the absolute freedom of individuals, but does not restrict and restrict the relative freedom of individuals
  3. The relative freedom of individuals is realized on the premise of consciously obeying social norms. Social control is the control and guidance of individual social behavior, not the control and guidance of all individual behaviors.
  4. Reasonable and moderate social control is conducive to the all-round development of human personality and creative play, as well as social stability and prosperity. On the contrary, it is the suppression of individuality, which is not conducive to social progress. The ultimate effect of any form of social control must be reflected in the actual control of social members, including the control of their social behavior, social relations, and social consciousness. These personal behaviors, relationships, and consciousness are all characteristics of a person as a member of society, and to a certain extent reflect the entire appearance of the individual and the difference between his beliefs and others.

Chapter 13 Social Issues

Section 1 What is a social problem

  • definition of social problems
  • The Meaning and Constituent Conditions of Social Problems
  1. Social problems: Refers to the problems that affect the normal life of all or some members of the society due to the obstacles in the social process in the relationship between individuals and society or the imbalance between the social structure and the social environment.
  2. Sun Wenwen’s Three Interpretations of Social Issues: "Chinese Social Issues", "Modern Chinese Social Issues"
  1. Explain the emergence of social problems from the perspective of social change and cultural dissonance
  2. A problem is a social problem as long as it attracts the attention of most people in the society and requires collective action to adjust and remedy it.
  3. From the point of view of social psychology, social problems are not only a visible social phenomenon, but mainly a kind of psychological state of people, which is a kind of value judgment.
  1. In 1941, American sociologists Richard Fuller and Richard Maltz pointed out in the article "The Development of Social Problems" that all social problems have to go through three stages of vigilance and policy reform:
  1. Vigilance: When the value of people's benefit to the people is threatened and becomes more and more serious, then vigilance and appeal
  2. Policy formulation: Different interest groups focus on solving problems, and after repeated debates, make resolutions, formulate plans and policies.
  3. Reform: The government listens to the appeals of the people, and relevant departments join in the action to implement the planned policies and promote the solution of the problem.
  1. Components of social problems
  1. Some social phenomena produce dissonance
  2. This disorder affects the normal social life of many people
  3. This disorder has aroused the concern of quite a few members of society
  4. This imbalance requires the mobilization of social forces for comprehensive governance
  • The difference between social problems and personal troubles
        American sociologist Wright Mills in the book "Sociological Imagination" regards social problems as public problems, and believes that public problems are different from personal troubles.
  1. Personal troubles must be related to the individual's self, and are only related to the limited social life field that the individual directly experiences, while social problems involve things that go beyond the individual's local environment and beyond the personal life field.
  2. Distress concerns only the individual, i.e. the individual feels that a value he or she holds dear is at stake, whereas a social problem is public, i.e. a value shared by the public is threatened
  3. Personal troubles have personal characteristics, and they only occur in the area of ​​direct relationship between the individual and others, while social problems have public characteristics, and they often contain institutional and structural crises, as well as what Marx called "contradiction". " and "struggle".
  • General characteristics of social problems: The so-called characteristics: refer to the remarkable signs and signs that distinguish one thing from other things.
  • Sociality: ①Generation of social problems ②Influence of social problems ③Elimination of social problems
  • Universality: Social problems are everywhere and all the time.
  • Particularity: It is relative to universal characteristics. Although it exists all the time, specific social problems may arise at a specific time and in a specific region.
  • Clustering: Social problems often do not appear individually, but appear in groups. At this time, social problems are more destructive.
  • Complexity: The causes of social problems are often diverse, and the consequences of various factors are diverse.
  • Several Theories of Social Problem Research
  • Sociopathology: Popular before World War I and revived only with a revision in the 1960s. The view that people and things that violate moral expectations as "pathological," that is, social problems, is social pathology. The theoretical basis of social pathology is mainly social organism theory.
  • Social Disorganization Theory: Prevalent in the 1920s and 1930s after World War I, social disorganization theory focuses on explaining social problems from the perspective of social structure. Its representatives include Cooley, Ogburn, Thomas and Znanicki. The so-called social disorganization means that various rules in the society have lost their effectiveness in restricting individual behaviors, and the society can neither provide people with the expected rewards and returns, nor punish behaviors that violate the rules. Social disorganization theory holds that social disorganization stems from social change .
  1. Social disorganization theory takes the form of:
  1. Anarchy : that is, there is no uniform set of appropriate social norms in social life to guide people's actions
  2. Cultural conflict : that is, there are at least two opposing value norms and rules in social life, which make people at a loss what to do;
  3. Value collapse : that is, the social value system and normative system are completely confused.
  1. 社会解组理论认为,社会问题最有效的解决方法是尽快建立社会规范和秩序,重建社会的均衡体系。其实这正是孔德当初创建社会学的宗旨所在。
  • 价值冲突理论:认开成于20世纪30年代,经过大萧条和二战之后在四五十年代占据了社会问题研究的主流地位。价值冲突理论认为,由于所处的社会经济地位和既得利益不同,人们对同一问题可能会有不同的价值证券标准和不同的立场、态度,因此在采取某种行为措施改变某一社会现象时,常常会引起矛盾和冲突,而这种矛盾和冲突往往发生在之间为文化价值或兴趣上的冲突是造成社会问题的根本原因的价值冲突理论。价值冲突理论有三种方法来解决社会问题中存在的利益与价值分裂的情交:①交涉;②达成协议;③使用权力
  • 行为偏差理论:把社会问题看成作偏离社会规范的念头行为的结果。其中失落理论、亚文化理论和标签理论是解释念头得为的几个重要理论。
  • 社会建构理论:社会建构理论认为,不存在客观意义上的社会问题、所谓社会问题是人们主观建构出来的,社会问题仅仅是人们对某种社会情况的办公室过程的主观产物,因此研究社会问题的社会学家真正面对的研究对象不是社会问题本身,而是某种情况如何被定义为社会问题的社会建构过程及其客观条件。社会建构理论主要研究社会问题定义过程中:①社会问题的办公室是如何提出并明确化的;②人们如何维护这种界定;③被有问题的人具有什么样的权力;④后者在寻求修正有关定义时采取的行动和形成的机构

Establish a social early warning system: The social early warning system is not only the need for the prevention and treatment of social problems, but also the need for social problem governance. The social early warning system includes investigation and research institutions, monitoring systems, social intervention centers, social support networks, social security systems, and warning education systems.
  6. Give full play to the role of public opinion supervision: Newspapers, radio, news agencies, television stations, etc. are the carriers of mass communication and important tools for public opinion supervision.
