Sentiments and Activities (Classic Reprint): Essays in Social Science: Essays in Social Science (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
This book is a collection of essays by a prominent sociologist that explores various topics in social science, mainly through the lens of anthropology. The author delves into the origins and development of social behavior, drawing on functionalist theories to examine the relationship between different societal institutions. By exploring diverse subjects such as kinship, social pathology, medieval history, and industrial sociology, the book offers a broad perspective on the field of sociology. The unifying theme throughout is the search for generalizable principles and the exploration of the strategic methodologies used to reach theoretical explanations of social phenomena. This book is an insightful read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of human behavior and the ways in which social institutions shape our lives.

Excerpt from Sentiments and Activities: Essays in Social Science
My very entrance into sociology was a matter of chance; or rather, I got into sociology because I had nothing better to do. I graduated from Harvard College in June, 1932, having concentrated academically in English literature and nonacademically in writing verse. In line with my literary interests I had decided to make myself a newspaperman. I was quite wrong; literary ability is the last thing a newspaperman needs to get ahead. But I was saved from the consequences of deliberate decision. Although I had gotten myself a job beginning in the fall with William Allen White of the Emporia, Kansas, Gazette, the Depression was still getting worse, and when the time came for me to go to Em poria, White wired me that the circulation of the Gazette had gone down so much that he would have to withdraw his ofier of a job. This made me, like so many others at the time, unemployed.

Excerpt from Sentiments and Activities: Essays in Social Science
Jin a volume of collected essays a reader will beless conscious in uences, I shall explain the scattering of my subjects by giving, as well as I can at this late date, the more obvious reasons why I took them up and why I pursued them as I did. The reasons were seldom what the picture of an ideal scientist says they should have been. Often they were opportunistic, designed to advance a career rather than a discipline, often intensely personal rather than dictated by a reasoned appraisal of what was best worth doing in the field; and often matters of chance, in the sense that the choice could not easily have been predicted ahead of time. I should be more ashamed of myself if I thought that many others had let themselves be dominated by the mere ux of circumstance less often than I have.
