SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE
A sociological perspective is the way sociology views the world and human behavior as a social science.
First Wisdom of Sociology: Things are not what they seem (Berger, 1963)
Sociological Imagination: The quality of mind that provides an understanding of individuals within the context of larger society and distinguishes between personal troubles that affect individuals and social issues that affect society (Mills, 1959)

Harriet Martineau (1802–1876)
Translated Comte’s six volume Positive Philosophy from French into English
Wrote Society in America, a treatise that compared and contrasted social stratification in England and the United States

Believed that attempts to help the poor or weak would harm society by promoting survival of the unfit
Formed theories and ideas used to support the status quo in social stratification justifying the wealthy and powerful as being the
