This document provides an overview of key concepts in sociology. It defines sociology as the scientific study of human society and human social behavior. It discusses related fields like social psychology, anthropology, economics, and political science. It also defines and compares key sociological concepts like society, community, social structure, social institutions, roles, culture, acculturation, social control, customs, and social problems. The document aims to comprehensively introduce foundational ideas and topics within sociology.
In sociology, a few theories provide broad perspectives that help explain many different aspects of
social life, and these are called paradigms. Paradigms are philosophical and theoretical frameworks
used within a discipline to formulate theories, generalizations, and the experiments performed in
support of them. Three paradigms have come to dominate sociological thinking, because they provide
useful explanations: structural functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interaction.

Behavioural sciences explore the cognitive processes within organisms and the behavioural interactions between organisms in the natural world. It involves the systematic analysis and investigation of human and animal behavior through the study of the past, controlled and naturalistic observation of the present, and disciplined scientific experimentation and modeling. It attempts to accomplish legitimate, objective conclusions through rigorous formulations and observation.[1] Examples of behavioral sciences include psychology, psychobiology, anthropology, and cognitive science. Generally, behavior science deals primarily with human action and often seeks to generalize about human behavior as it relates to society

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

2. Introduction
Medicine and social sciences have their own way of
dealing with human behaviour.
The term “social sciences” is applied to the disciplines
which are committed to scientific study of human
behaviour.
The social sciences are..
1) Economics
2) Political science
3) Sociology
4) Social psychology
5) Anthropology
Of these last three are directly concerned with human
behaviour and known as “behavioural sciences”
3. What we have got in social sciences….
Economics
It deals with human relationships in specific context of production,
distribution, consumption and ownership of resources, goods and
services
Political science

understanding of pattern of human life
Social Psychology

motivations
Social Anthropology

4. So….what is sociology….???
Sociology is derived from the Latin socio, meaning society
and the Greek logos meaning science.
The word society is derived from the root words socius,
meaning individual and societa meaning group.
Medical Sociology includes studies of……
Medical profession
Relationship of medicine to public
Role of social factor in etiology, incidence, prevalence and
interpretation of diseases.
5. Society : a group of individuals who have organized themselves
and follow a given way of life.
Group of peoples coming together temporarily : crowd
If the same group of people settled down and organized
themselves then they form a society.
The outstanding feature of society is system- a system of social
relationship between individuals.
It regulates and controls the behaviour of individuals by customs
and laws.
It can exert pressure on the individual to conform to its norms.
Then what is society….?????
6. Now…..what is a community….???
A community is a social group determined by geographical
boundaries and/ or common values and interests.
Its members know and interacts with each other.
It functions within a particular social structure and exhibits and
creates certain norms, values and social institutions.
Any individual belongs to the broader society through his/her
family and community
7. Cont….
Communities can be ‘structural’ or ‘functional’
Functional communities
Non-geographical aggregates, bound together by some
common factor other than geographical place of residence or
work; e.g religion, occupation, special interest or need (as
socially backward communities).
Structural communities
These are organised by geographical or political boundaries.
It could be as small as an ‘indoor patient’s community in a
hospital or increasingly larger, according to a mohalla, village,
slum, city, district, state or even a nation.
8. Other things…..
Social structure
Refers to the pattern of relationship between
persons
It is a complex of major institutions, group, power
structure and status hierarchy
Social institution
Organized complex pattern of behaviour in which a
number of persons participate in order to further
group interest
Within each institution the rights and duties of
members are defined
E.g school, church, club, political parties etc.
9. Role
In a society, individuals are allocated roles.
Sociologist have classified roles into “Ascribed” and
“Achieved”
Ascribed roles
Particular role “given” to an individual by a virtue of sex, age,
and birth status e.g husband,father
Acquired roles
Particular role “acquired” by virtue of education or otherwise
e.g employee, teacher
When the individual falls sick he assumes “sick role” and
expected to decrease his normal role, seek medical aid and
carry out physician’s order
10. There is more…..
Socialism
Economic doctrine that favours the use of property and resources of
the country for public welfare
Motto of socialism is “all for all” and “each for each”
Socialization
Every society has its beliefs, customs, traditions and prejudices
An individual living in the society acquires these by interacting with
the people…..
…this process of acquiring culture and becoming the
member of social group is “socialization”
11. Social Control Mechanisms
In every society there are rules, formal and informal, for the
maintenance of relationships of authority and subordinations.
There are two types of control mechanisms “Formal” and
“Informal”
Formal social control mechanisms
In the field of health, there are various Acts, some central and
others state or local which help to maintain standards of health.
Informal social control mechanism
The informal social pressure may be exerted by powerful
groups, individuals or friends.
These mechanisms work largely through reward and
punishment.
12. Customs
The mere existence of a society, the mere plurality of individuals
gives rise to customs.
Quite numerous and quite as powerful.
Customs are technically divided into “Folkways” and ‘mores’.
Folkways
The folkways are right ways of doing things in what is regarded
as the less vital areas of human conduct eg. Greeting “hello”
Mores
The more stringent customs are called “mores”. The public takes
active parts in their enforcement eg. Rash driving
“Mores” dictate right and wrong, while folkways distinguish
between proper and rude behavior.
13. Culture
Culture : “learned behaviour which has been socially acquired”.
Product of human societies, includes all that person acquires in the
mental and intellectual sphere of his individual and social life
Man is largely a product of his cultural environment.
Transmitted from one generation to another through learning
processes both formal and informal.
Lays norms of behaviour and provision for individual and social survival
of the individual
Culture stands for the customs, beliefs, laws, religion and moral
precepts, arts and other capabilities and skills acquired by man as a
member of society.
14. Acculturation
Acculturation means “culture contact”.
When there is contact between two people with different
types of culture, there is diffusion of culture both ways.
There are various ways by which culture contact takes
place.
Trade and commerce
Industrialization
Propagation of religion,
Education and
Conquest
Radio , TV, cinema have been important factors in
shaping the cultural-behavioural pattern of people
15. Standard of living
Refers to usual scale of expenditure consumptionof
goods and the services enjoyed
Includes food, dress, amusements and all other modes
of living
The standard of living in a country is depends upon
1. The level of national income
2. The total amount of goods and services a country is able to
produce
3. The size of the population
4. The level of education
5. General price level
6. The distribution of national income
16. Social problems
In a community there are both individual and social
problems.
Individual problems become social problems when they
affect a large number of people amounting to a threat to
the welfare or safety of the whole group.
But all individual problems are not social problems.
Poverty, crime and disease are common social
problems.
Alcoholism, venereal diseases, mental illness and
narcotic addiction are both public health and social
problems.
17. Social pathology
Systematic study of human disease in relation to social
conditions and disease process outside the human body
Describes the relation between disease and social conditions,
commonly linked to poverty, crime, delinquency and vagrancy.
The social pathology has an important role in accident,
diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer etc.
Social Diagnosis is made by socio-medical surveys and by
study of domestic and social conditions of individuals which
discloses the social pathology.
Social Therapy offers holistic development-centered
therapeutic and support services.
18. Social defence

rehabilitative services for protection of the of the
society from…..
….antisocial deviant or criminal conduct of man
Includes measures like….
Prevention and control of juvenile delinquency
