Question

Discussion: The nature of anthropology and sociology.

Answer 1

I love how abbot attacks girls on the internet cuz he's mad he'll never get near one in real life

Answer 2

lmao

Answer 3

Sociology and anthropology for one ARE like twins. they both seek to find the social and cultural forces that inflence human behavior.
sociologists who are more interested in social relations and structures like race, ethnicity, social class, gender, etc., anthropologist are also concerned with the physical and cultural development of human beings from the time of their origin to this day.

Answer 4

hahaha. she so mad. i thought this was a discussion, not an attack. Stick to the subject at hand here.

Answer 5

uh, no. Anthro has biological components that sociology rarely uses. There are different fields in Anthro just like there is for EVERY major

Answer 6

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociobiology

Answer 7

Sociology is the systematic study of society

Answer 8

Then, explain that.

Answer 9

that is the issue when you do not use biological components like genetics, it limits your studies specially in the study of epidemiology

Answer 10

like i said sociology "RARELY" uses biology

Answer 11

Then, can you explain why theres a field called sociobiology?

Answer 12

i agree that biology is needed in sociology. Sociology is highly flawed because they think everything is a social construct. This is very DUMB of people who hold PhD's to think this way. Race is not only a social construct but it is also very much genetic/biological.

Answer 13

Also sociology is flawed in that they only consider the black and white paradigm in race and ethnicity studies. Very closedminded.

Answer 14

im not reading that so give me a summary

Answer 15

Also, whenever people say race is a social construct i say 2 words to disprove them: East Asians. Nuff said

Answer 16

I am not concerned with who started or coined what, but when it comes to rigorous scientific methods, Malinowski established it in the field of Anthropology, which sociology later on adopted along the works of Franz Boaz and people that followed him like Claude Lévi-Strauss.

Answer 17

So what? that's just methodology. EVERYBODY uses it.

Answer 18

we can discuss about Comte for all that matters, but his field work was not sound

Answer 19

methodology is important in science

Answer 20

agreed but so what? EVERYBODY in the social sciences uses it

Answer 21

that doesn't prove that sociology is a "baby version of anthro"

Answer 22

not to the same extent and rigor before Malinowski

Answer 23

I will tell you how that part is true.

Answer 24

Sociology and anthro is different also there are more Soc majors than anthro majors in america

Answer 25

SOC is much more popular *flips hair*

Answer 26

nin just shutup and help me with math

Answer 27

ah Du Bois is appropriately more described as an anthropologist than a sociologist, but splitting hair does not do service to his work because both field refer to him in the same manner.

Answer 28

who cares about Du Bois he's an idiot. He advocated assimilation

Answer 29

He didn't even give 2 fawks about ethnicity

Answer 30

You can not entirely dismiss someone based on a few flukes of his or her works.

Answer 31

and im pretty sure du bois admired Nazi Germany

Answer 32

ethnicity and nationality have a very weak divide between the two, but in view of sociology and anthropology, this becomes highly subjective based on circumstances.

Answer 33

he visited Nazi Germany and had nothing but good things to say about them

Answer 34

KARL MARX FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 35

just as no sociologist nor anthropologist would dismiss Malinowski because of the racist or supremacist remarks he wrote in his diaries.

Answer 36

DUDE NIN can u help me with a simple math problem please

Answer 37

ye, math is used frequently in anthropological studies particularly when we delve into Epidemiology which is a huge subject for both sociology and anthropology.

Answer 38

Hey Zale i don't disrespect the natural sciences i highly respect it unless someone attacks me and my major. Then i'll unleash hell on them.

Answer 39

Nin what do you know about epistemic privilege?

Answer 40

that's a sad venn diagram you drew for one, it is not factual
and I think we both agree that there is no scope of sociology that anthropology doesn't do
