Sociology 101

Having to use a calculator to add to not offend the people who cant add

Is this fucking real life. It's like a fucking twilight zone episode anymore

Take a blue pill argument and go full retard with it to the point that it red pills much of the class and discredits the remaining xers.

Maybe in america but in europe it's illegal to be a fascist.
What kind of a degree requires sociology?

Also, just realized something-

I took a sociology class as well, I don't know why i forgot that.

We actually LEARNED about actual fucking Sociology.

Not this nu-liberal safespace shit, these people need to bury some bones and level up already.

...

No fucking way, how is it ranked? -50 for being male?

Just pretend to be a leftist.
There's no point in fighting a battle which you won't win. Finish the course, get degree, then you can move into an actual political career where you can start to change things so more people don't have to go through what you did.

Just turn up to class wearing nothing but a loin cloth. Complain that they are attacking your sexual fluidity when they question you.

Then I advise you get the fuck out of whatever shithole balkan country you live in that doesnt have free academic speech.

100% of your classes in a government funded public college are going to have anywhere from a slight to an overwhelming leftist bias. Unfortunately that's just the way it's going to be. Keep your head down, get good grades, pretend to be a leftist commie.

I got lucky and had an English teacher who was a secret conservative. He couldn't reveal it in his lectures but he could tell from my papers that I was red pilled too and sometimes we'd talk after class. Even then he had to play along with the leftist narrative or else he'd be replaced.

>Some of the shit they teach...
It's crucial study, numbnuts. I like the way it ties into social theory and everything connected to it. If you move through your life and dismiss social studies despite their close ties with humanities just because you regard them a bit too "liberal" for you or whatnot, instead resorting only to natural and formal sciences, you're going to have a very bad time.

Another edgy freshman trying to be edgy.
There are times to stand out and there are times to keep your head down, college is for the latter. Shut the fuck up, take the mandatory classes without bitching and moaning and get your degree and get the fuck out.

Modern Colleges are not a place to stand out

>Cultural Anthropology GE
>Majority of the class frequently called out the professor on his bullshit
>SJW types got triggered and dropped the course
>Professor was this beta Asian guy who meekly took it all and ended up giving everyone A's

I think he didn't care that much and just wanted to get back out researching.

>hating on sociology

As long as you stay 'critical' like Adorno nothing will happen :3

I'm sorry user I'll probably go through the same thing but not this semester

The blue pill is only prevalent with my English teacher
>talk of the confederate flag comes up
>me and some other guy
>"the only reason anyone finds it offensive is because it's the only one used"
>other guy "yea there's like 13 others no one would even know what they are"
>teacher" I don't care what you think it means it's racist and that's the end of the story and if you support it you're a biggot"

That's it though after that he and I just kind of rolled our eyes at this shit

I hope trump can fix this some how

i'm having a hard time rectifying the post content to the flag

>social studies being anything but a complete waste of time.

Shoot up the classroom as an heroin

I took a meme degree of Sociology & Politics

>Modules on Durkheim, Weber and Marx
>Modules on group behaviour
>Intro to Criminology
>Nothing slightly 'SJW'

How bad is American Sociology? I always hear horror stories that do not at all reflect my experiences. I even wrote an essay on Marx's 'On the Jewish Question' where Marx all but claims finance is the religion of the Jew.

>took a sociology class in engineering school
>it was really a methodology class
>the professor was bro-tier, specialist of the sociology of football supporters
>he spent years in immersion among football team fan-clubs and writing about them
>it was dope as fuck

Here's an idea: move to a good college.

Psychology > Sociology
or
Sociology = Psychology - logic - science

the only good advice in this thread.

why the fuck would you make a class harder than it needs to be? just tell the professor what she wants to hear.

Ever heard of a thing called "perspective"? You need to evaluate every stance possible before passing judgement, so colleges, at least here, usually present you with that opportunity. Yet OP is so full of himself that he instantly opposes any ides that don't align with his superficial standards of college education, most of which were shaped by spending way too much time on Cred Forums and being an impressionable young mind.

Just like--
Fucking.
Just fucking learn things, man. When it comes to humanities and social studies, the main thing is that truth is born during the discourse. My teachers always welcomed discussions and arguments, because arguing is fun and brings people closer, while simultaneously letting them find out the truth for themselves. And if you are a limp-dicked whiteboi nerd who can't muster a comprehensive and/or solid counter-argument in response to a "bluepilled" statement, then it's your own fault for not indulging in social studies, which could at the very least teach you to create infallible arguments and give you understanding of how this shit works.

yeah start a male only club called Future Fathers Club or the 19th Century German Philosophers Club or Anti modern sociology club that de-prioritises everything that the new soc 101 teaches.

>They literally can't mark you wrong if you properly cite any hard numbers.
You sweet sweet child

OP don't listen to this guy. Keep your head down. Say what they want you to say. The semester will be over soon.

What the fuck do you niggers think a sociology exam is?
>"What is your personal opinion on racism? You have 4 hours"
Is that what you uneducated hicks think college is?

With all due respect Russia
Your professors are probably a lot less corrupt than ours

ft. ben garrison

It doesn't mean that there are no good social study professors left in the US. Discourse and arguments are the building blocks of social studies. Always have been. I know it's Cred Forums, but there's no need to view everything to it's absolute extreme.

Just think for a second that you could have started a sociology thread with actual discussion, but instead you posted this blogshit.
Just think where your life went wrong that you'd rather be in a hugbox like this instead of researching actual information.
You could actually study the interesting field that is sociology but instead you chose to post this trash.
Tell me please what happened to you that turned you into a drooling retard.

Most things Sociology are inherently marxist.

Dis

>then it's your own fault for not indulging in social studies, which could at the very least teach you to create infallible arguments and give you understanding of how this shit works.

And see this is my problem with sociology. It's not about getting to the truth of a matter but using obstructionism to defend and justify irrational behaviors.

>uneducated hicks
Yeah okay sure. Guess

>the main thing is that truth is born during the discourse
And this is why people say that humanities are worthless. "Truth", according to what most people mean by it, is something that exists independently of discourse, and is found through empirical investigation and analysis. Have fun all you want, but you shouldn't delude yourself into believing that rhetoric is capable of determining truth and falsehood.

>Most things Sociology are inherently marxist.
That's like saying
>Most things Botany are inherently vegan
And then proceed to start eating mushrooms, only to die of food poisoning because you didn't know the difference between the edible and inedible one. Way to fucking go letting your prejudices stop you from at least getting knowledge that could potentially be beneficial.

Then find normal fucking teachers you twerp, your country is big enough to provide alternatives. But oh no, that would probably make you step out of you comfort zone, and we just can't have that, right?
And don't you try saying "But it's like that everywhere here!", because it isn't, and I'll take a ticket to your foggy shithole, find you and personally drag you to someone who can teach you at least basic polemics and critical thinking, so that you would stop spewing bullshit online.

>Chilling with ex in bed a few years ago.

Go for Max Weber and/or Elitists. There are good things in Sociology, not only leftit shit.

Do not equalize empirical truths found in natural studies and truths discovered through mutual interactions with your peers, because those are DIFFERENT FUCKING STUDIES GOD DAMN FUCK. You can incorporate empirical truths into your argument to support your stance, and it will be the absolute evidence, but the world is more fickle than a constant of those "empirical truths"

Nice mushroom analogy. But what I said was true. There;s an entire school of thought in sociology that is rooted in Marxist thinking.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_conflict_theory

This shit is tied closely to the whole SJW-ism of the oppression Olympics. No fank you.

Does sociology actually teach you anything interesting beyond obstructionist argumentation?

No it isn't. Some retards just can't accept truth. Hence sociology.

Here's one that sums it up pretty nicely.

How many sociologists does it take to change a light-bulb?

None. There is nothing wrong with the light-bulb. It is society that has to change.

>truths discovered through mutual interactions with your peers
Please tell me what sort of "truth" this is supposed to be. If you mean something like "we agree that x", knowledge of that agreement came to you empirically by observing it. But if you haven't arrived at x by observation or analysis, in what sense is it true?

I'm taking psychology with my Computing Science degree senpai, can't be that bad

>But if you haven't arrived at x by observation or analysis, in what sense is it true?

So much to learn user.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipositivism

>Antipositivism (also known as interpretivism or negativism) is the belief within social science that the social realm may not be subject to the same methods of investigation as the natural world; the social realm requires a different epistemology in which academics work beyond empiricism and the scientific method. Antipositivists hold that researchers need to be, first, aware that our concepts, ideas, and language shape how we think about the social world. Therefore, antipositivists focus on understanding the interpretative method employed

>There;s an entire school of thought in sociology that is rooted in Marxist thinking.
I never said it wasn't true, for fuck's sake. Marxism has a place in society just like Fascism, Nazism, Liberalism, etc, because these are all the things that society is made out of. Studying any of "schools" doesn't inherently make you a marxist or fascist, it just gives you a glimpse into the inner working of the minds of some people and the reasoning behind it. Whether you accept it or not is your decision, that's the basic principle of society.

>Does sociology actually teach you anything interesting beyond obstructionist argumentation?
Critical thinking and social thought are one of the bigger ones, at least for me. There's a bunch of theories that would be good to know as well, starting from classic ones dating back to Greece and all the way to this board's unequivocally hated feminist theory. Because somewhere along the way you start seeing how some things borrow concepts from ideas that pre-date them by literal thousands of years, yet others remain unchanged over ages. It's fascinating and it gives you further understanding of how society works. Because, whether you want it or not, you WILL end up wondering on which side are you, and human mind instinctively looks for the options that are more beneficial, whether it be short or long term. Social Studies only make it easier to choose, but ultimately the decision lies with you.

>No it isn't. Some retards just can't accept truth. Hence sociology.
I did not come here to persuade you or argue, I came here just to clear up a misunderstanding regarding the view of common Cred Forums user on social studies. The fact that you use "It is society that has to change." in your anecdotal evidence only shows me the sheer level of your idiocy, because this is all this board is trying to do. Sit on their asses and expect the society to change according to their needs, while doing nothing.
This exchange is over.

>Some of the shit they teach, Cred Forums...

be more specific

...

When I asked OP to be more specific, I asked for the specificities of their class, not some random video from the Internet. Please, remove yourself from my sight.

This Ameribro is more correct than not.

No, it's more phrased like "elaborate on how privilege theory has developed in the context of intersectional oppression".

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipositivism
Forgot about that, since it's silly and seemed irrelevant at the time. I was unaware that they called their products "truth".

That's enough living for me today

Where do you think ideas like this come from?

I too would be interested in hearing OP's specific gripes but I can imagine.

Don't major in something that requires you to take a sociology class you fucking retard.

From a random woman who studied journalism, and "communication and politics" in Seattle.

100% right on the spineless part but i would also add in lazyness.

If you do shit on a test and ask them to reevaluate it, 8 times out of 10 they will bump ur grade up as they dont want to do the fucking work of re-correcting all ur shit.

My sociology class is politically incorrect as fuck.
Got a A for saying that gays are degenerate and shouldn't be allowed go get married or get any special privileges.

>I got A for sharing an opinion

Serbian education must be great.

Based Serbia.
