Speak with Dr. Suanne Epstein at the University of Connecticut. She is a respected sociologist who teaches sociology at that university in the United States.Lambada said:American Universities? oh OK, I understand totally! Seriously, how can asking a question be 'bashing your credibility'? Please, don't be touchy. I am debating, not attacking. When I seek to attack, I'll let you know!
Nals, the purpose of sociology is to EXAMINE society, not to categorise it. The subject which 'categorises' is demography. Sociology seeks to shed further light by examination. One of the methods used may be classification, but not categorisation. It could be this is just a semantic difference & we both understand the same thing, I don't know, it is difficult to tell on a message board.
Thanks for the invite to stop by any university in the world.......but forgive me if I don't take action on it. I retired from teaching at one 12 years ago, so as they say.........been there, got the tee shirt. I won't tell you what my subject was................
Go to www.uconn.edu for more info on how to contact her if you want.
Have a nice day!
BTW, 12 years is enough for ideas and beliefs to be overturned. Today's world is very different from the world 12 years ago and many things that were thought to be true are now considered to be incorrect. If you want a listing of all the sociologist that I know, I'll supply it at your request.
Escott, don't you have some gardens or hookers to attend? Just wondering...
