An Incident When I Observed Something in a Group in Which I Was New

            This happened when I had just joined the university a place where I was not familiar with. I found the rest of my classmates had already been there for some time. For quite a longer period, they came attended class and went to hang out idle. I only came to know that this could be dangerous to the entire class. I stood out and asked them to form discussion groups that would keep us busy in the absence of the professors. This stood out as the best idea ever that no one had thought of before and it became helpful to many.

The benefits of sociological perspective

            Sociological perspective can be referred to as the general outlook on human behavior and the society as a whole. This aspect is important in the life of a person because it widens our understanding about ourselves so that we can gage the truth in the common assumption critically.  It helps us realize the opportunities around us and the limitations surrounding us. Sociological perspective also empowers so that we are able to weigh the capacity between our personal lives and societal forces (Lawler, 2008). It also helps realize human diversity hence teaching us on how to live in a diverse world. Applying sociological perspective is also important to our personal daily life. For instance, when you make a good critical observation on something and it becomes helpful to the group, you become confident of the challenges that may come your way in future. Sociological perspective also makes us exposed to many things in life and how to deal with them (Lawler, 2008). Therefore as a person, you need to apply and use sociological perspective in our lives.
