As a discipline, sociology helps us understand the multiple factors that impact certain
groups of people: location, historical and social change, economics, family relationships,
racism, and so forth. Misperception often fuels biased assumptions about these groups,
resulting in blaming the victim, stigma, and ineffective policies. An examination of the
macro-level dynamics at play can help us to understand differently.Relying on the themes
covered in this module, discuss a current misconception you have seen, heard about, or
experienced related to a group of people.Why do you think this misconception occurred?
Provide ways you think the issue could be alleviated. Remember to address the distinction
between social structure and the individual.
