Berger summed up the sociological perspective by seeing the general in a particular. Seeing patterns and noticing the behavior of different people are characteristics of sociology. Human behavior is not what people decide to do, nor does society shape our lives. We can choose our own outlook on society by gaining knowledge of other societies. Sociological perspective helps view the truth of common sense. Questioning the ordinary beliefs and taking precautions with assumptions and opinions. It helps notice opportunities and constraints. By learning and adapting we can choose our paths in life. People have the ability to participate in society. It also helps us live in a diverse world. The origins of Sociology came from many different changes that occurred in the world. From the Industrial technology came the occurrence of cities. Cities created more crime, anger, pollution, and strange non-traditional family uprisings. All of these changed and developed society as the world grew. Social paradigms play a big part in the world today. The majority of people don't realize the name for what they encounter every day but it is there. Deriving from social structure to social conflicts. Reducing conflicts and misunderstandings the Social-Conflict Paradigm covers the difference in people. Such as rich, poor, ethnic backgrounds, and education. Levels of studies or views can be seen in the Symbolic Interaction Paradigm.
Culture.
Culture is the values, beliefs, behavior, and things that form a way of life. Culture does not exist without a society. Sharing culture and interacting is society. Often the question of normal is asked. But what is normal? The way of life to one people is normal to himself or herself, but not to another. Communication is by far one of the greatest device man possesses. Language is the use of symbols that allow people to communicate with one another. Language can help pass down history and teach people ways of different societies and cultures.
