Gaurav Singh Well, Well Bob and vagene guy is here.

I love that we're this far in and still bringing up the science/not science. As a double major in both sociology and environmental science, I have no trouble calling sociology a science. There's a lot of social factors driving the argument, but in the end, trying to invalidate sociology is largely meaningless. If we only focused on knowledge from "hard sciences" without also bringing in "soft science" knowledge, we wouldn't get very far.

Feel like everyone is against this woman and sociology because it talks on touchy things no one wants to take the blame for or try to understand so they are just going to make fun of it and her for no earthly reason- every crash course video is fast and while some science measures space and cloning things that are incredible and amazing but not quite hitting home. Sociology talks about racism, sexism, stereotypes and where things like this and more come from and how we can change thinking. Like if that isn't a huge deal to you then maybe your not impacted or you just don't care but when sociology is in the right hands you can change and do so much its unthinkable to think people without any of these skills or this knowledge could comment

Thank you so much!!! I was studying sociology for exams and I disagreed with Durkheim because I had misunderstood his point (my sociology book sucks). This video explained EVERYTHING so well! I know understand! Thank you soooooo much!

Omg we are studying Durkheim in my school and now crash course comes up with this video? I love you guys

I love these videos on Sociology. One of the best crash courses

Just had a project about this guy. This lady helped me a lot. Props to her! 💪

I feel like I don't know enough about sociology to participate in the "is sociology a scientific discipline" discussion. And those who participated doesn't seem to care enough to educate us. I guess being condescending is just much more satisfying.

Go subscribe to a sociological journal, read some of the sociological literature and decide for yourself if the methodology is adequate for you to consider it a science, anything anyone tells you will be so skewed in favour of their position it's useless (sorry I can't be more helpful).

My knowledge on the subject is like a 12 year old's knowledge regarding theoretical physics. Neither me or the 12 year old can read the journals and understand them adequately to make judgement. Which is why I don't pass judgement and trust those who know better. All I have is basic critical thinking to know if an argument is flawed. Skewed they may be, at least I can ask questions and get an answer and approach the truth.

I do want to know enough. But the TLDR is clearly not enough. No offence. I can see the political bias may affect data interpretations. I also agree that social studies can be easily abused as excuses to marginalise people. But let me play devil's avocate for a moment. Isn't that a weakness to all science? How palaeontologists once thought dinosaurs looks like lizards. Sigmund Freud thought everything is about sex. Science is a self-correcting process. Past mistakes shouldn't discredit it, no? So I guess sociology is as much a science as psychology is or was? (It's a genuine question i'd like to know)

@Chronically_ChiII

7 жыл бұрын

YoungTheFish Yes, it is weakness to all sciences. Although science also has approved testing methods, data and a cold glass of skepicism as counter measures. The problem with psychology, finances, sociology (even maybe nutrition) and why there is reluctance in giving it the science label is ultimately because of the numbers of unexplained/unknown variables and how it's much harder to reduce them like you can in a lab with the *hard sciences.* People find that we don't know enough about these things to draw emperical knowledge or to distinguish it from nonsense caused by unknown variables. That is why there is an urge to stress that point. If we had AI simulations to conduct large test on population, or even just a good enough system to module the brain, all this would be a different story.

Loving the thought bubbles for this series.

This one was pretty damn fascinating. I'd love to hear more about social cohesion/integration. I feel like we probably still have this problem.

Been waiting for the new crash course!

CrashCourse videos are nearly always great. I use them all the time to re-establish my understanding on all sorts of theories. One thing though: why do all the hosts talk so bloody fast? I am sure this is a question you've addressed long ago, and I am sure you're trying to squeeze in as much content in under 10 mins but damn... it makes it really hard to absorb without having to pause and re-listen!

So good- as always! Thanks CrashCourse!

I bet next week's discussion of Marx is going to be SUPER civil and respectful, and the comment section will be devoid of predisposed bias and ignorance of the source material. :D

+aristide colbrant Oh it's a science all right -- just the most inaccurate and misleading of them all. And it will remain that way until a computational model of the brain is created that can accurately describe all human behavior. I give that about half a century for a single brain simulation, and then a bit over a century to compute mini-societies to see how people interact. To clarify: a key aspect of science is variables. If you cannot control variables, then you cannot do accurate science. Humans are notoriously difficult to predict because of just how many variables are prevalent in someone's life. That's why any science based on human behavior is near-impossible to get accurate results.

Knight Chime because they're not warriors at all they are afraid of change and anything else that would rouse them from their warm hoggish beds. Their cry of "you can't tell me what to do" should conflict with their political beliefs but doesn't because what they want is whatever the group around them wants, ethical or not. At age 15 they became jaded and cynical because it all was laid out for them; school, career, a family, old age and death, and they never thought to question it or seek anything other than security, sensation or power.

I'm watching this series after the fact and its interesting to see how it follows almost exactly the same syllabus as an introductory course into the history of sociology I did at university last semester. And I'm going to university in Germany, which makes the likeness of an American crash course even more interesting :D

I could watch this again and again. Very Pleasing to watch and listen to 🙃

Love your stuff guys. Was just curious if you'd be able to start citing sources, take some of the work from me when I start looking up some of these things myself

After comparing this to my Sociology classes, I realized that this video ignores many of Durkheim's ideas. So, CrashCourse must be only looking to give an introduction to some concepts; if the viewer wants to really understand the presented subject, he has to go beyond this introduction and look for external resources on it. That said, CrashCourse should provide at least some those resources in their descriptions (like websites, books and articles) in order to help the viewer understand that subject.

weesh ful I thought it was just a fun name the creators of this channel had come up with.

So if Durkheim were alive today, his Structural Functionalism model would characterize internet trolling as one of the necessary cohesive components, or social facts, in the developed world's societies; not, conversely, as a social dysfunction. As if trolls needed another reason to rationalize their behavior. xP Your videos are always well planned, informative, and thought provoking Nicole. Thank you.

sociology is about researching the problems of society, forming hypothesis and theories so we can SOLVE and improve any problem! sociology is important and we need more good people that want to help humanity. sociology is a way to do that. :)
