The sociology facing reality

The sociology pretends to be the discipline that understand better the reality and all her complexity, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, but it could be said that this is the principal challenge of sociology.

Well, but this social reality can be abord from several persepectives, theorics or from practical troubles of today: Poverty, social structure, economy, politics, etc. But today we are going to focus on three particular areas: technology, social matters and education. Before anything, I must clarify that somethings that are going to be told here aren't specificly about the clasical sociology, but from a point of view that mixes different professions, like anthropology, psychology or economy.

The relation between technology and sociology has been very good from the beggining of this science. Helping specially with the data treatment in stadistics and several machines and computers softwares that helps in the data analyze.  By other hand, technology like a matter to be studied, has been related with the social work division. In this case, the use of technology has been looked critically, like a phenomenon that in the modernity has submit to the human work. So, the technology isn't bad by it self, but the man hasn't always given a human use.

With social matters, the sociology is directly related. As I said at the begginin of this blog, poverty, social structure, happiness or life conditions have been the most important issues in the history of sociology. In general, this science has looked how modernity affect to society in all different parts of it, from the most intime relations to the structural relations between the states or in the economy.

Finally, in the education, the sociology has studied how this affect in the first years of life to the personality of the children (this also does the educational psychology). Also has studied how the education generates social differences in the structure, so, who "grabs" the better carrers, also get the better jobs and salaries. Or, who studies more, also will get a better position in society.

The problem in these issues like in many others ones, is that sociology isn't always prepared to offer solutions to them. So, the challenge is open, is necessary that sociology get a good position between sciences and could be prepared to face all the problems of different societys.

That's all, thanks for reading.
