They will form a better understanding of how sociologists analyze many different aspects of everyday happenings in our society using the same underlying assumptions (i.e., using a theoretical paradigm) to guide their thinking and research. Students ultimately learn that it is difficult to utilize only one theoretical paradigm when attempting to analyze different social problems. ER -
