representation of an actual thing - tree, chair, table,
computer, distance, etc. Construct is the word for
concepts with no physical referent - democracy,
learning, freedom, etc. Language enables
conceptualization. A principle expresses the
relationship between two or more concepts or
constructs. In the process of theory development, one
derives principles based on one’s
examining/questioning how things/concepts are
related.

focusing on the large social phenomena or
“the big picture”, such a social institutions

people interact with one another or
looking at the situational patterns of social
interaction. This is the micro view.

46. Three Major Perspectives in
Sociology
A.symbolic interactionist perspective
also known as symbolic interactionism, directs
sociologists to consider the symbols and details of
everyday life, what these symbols mean, and how
people interact with each other. People attach
meanings to symbols, and then they act according to
their subjective interpretation of these symbols.
George H. Mead (1863–1931) introduced this
perspective to American sociology in the 1920s.

47. The Structural-functional Perspective
Each aspect of society is interdependent and contributes to
society's functioning as a whole.Functionalists believe that
society is held together by social consensus, or cohesion, in
which members of the society agree upon, and work
together to achieve, what is best for society as a whole.
Emile Durkheim suggested that social consensus takes one
of two forms:
Mechanical solidarity is a form of social cohesion that
arises when people in a society maintain similar values and
beliefs and engage in similar types of work.
Organic solidarity is a form of social cohesion that arises
when the people in a society are interdependent, but hold
to varying values and beliefs and engage in varying types of
work.

48. C.The conflict perspective
Focuses on the negative, conflicted, and
ever-changing nature of society. Which

writings on class struggles,presents
society. Conflict theorists challenge the
status quo, encourage social change (even
when this means social revolution), and
believe rich and powerful people force
social order on the poor and the weak.

49. Historical Perspective
