Hi professor Alex, I learned that symbolic interactionism is basically how we interact with each other. Without rlly speaking. Like having a sticker of ur favorite show on ur laptop and someone will know u like that particular show.
Hello Professor Alex, I learned different research methods and the 9 types of intelligence.
Hello Professor Alex, I learned that three paradigms or perspectives in sociology are used in many sociological discussions: structural functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionalism.
Hi Professor Alex, I learned that sociology is a subject that helps us understand ourselves. With sociology we are able to under other peoples experiences better and be supportive of each to work with them better.
Good Morning Prof Alex, I learned that you can be making a lot of money but still be considered the working class (Proletariat) you’d have to own the means of production to be considered (Bourgeois)
Thank you Professor Alex for this information.
Hi Professor Alex, I learned that W E B Du Bois brought statistics to the United States.
Thank you professor Alex, very much enjoyed this lecture!
Good Afternoon Professor Alex I learned that Proletariat is the normal income receivers while the bourgeoise is not only a 1% but a 0.01% of the population which includes millionaires/billionaires.
Good Evening Prof Alex, I learned that W. E. B. Du Bois was one of the preeminent leaders in the African American Civil Rights movement and helped found the NAACP. -Jeremiah (LD03)
Good evening, Professor Alex, I learned the different types of research and observations and what they truly mean. I also learned that there are specifically different types of intelligence.
Good evening, Professor Alex, I learned that there are two main classes being proletariat who are normally the main working class and the bourgeoisie who are very wealthy. I also learned that these terms were created by Karl Marx.
Hello Professor Alex, I learned about the concept of sociological imagination, which really stood out to me. This perspective helped me understand that my individual challenges are often linked to broader societal issues, such as economic conditions or cultural norms. I feel like I can better analyze my own life and the world around me, making me more aware of the complexities of social interactions and structures.
Hello Prof. Alex, The emphasis on informed consent made me realize how crucial it is to respect individuals' autonomy and well-being in research settings. It reinforced my belief that ethical practices are not just guidelines but essential components that uphold the integrity of sociological studies.
Thank you, Professor Alex.
Hi Professor Alex, This video was very informative. I learned about the various steps in the scientific method and it's importance in research. I learned that there are multiple different types of intelligence. Marvel Esua (LD03)
One thing I learned was Qualitative Sociology and Quantitative Sociology. Quantitative Sociology focuses on statistical methods and researchers will analyze the data to see if they can uncover the patterns of human behaviors. Qualitative Sociology focuses on understanding human behavior through interviews, focus groups and even analyzing of sources.
Good Night Professor Alex, A very interesting take away I learned from this video is how W.E.B. Dubois contributed to the introduction of statistics to the U.S. I already had a little background knowledge about Du Bois' contribution to Black activism and the founding of the NAACP. However, I never knew about how he created statistic charts from scratch about institutional racism. I would also like to learn more about this if you have any links to articles or his data charts. -Daniel Alleyne (LD03)
Here is a link to an article by the Smithsonian: www.smithsonianmag.com/history/first-time-together-and-color-book-displays-web-du-bois-visionary-infographics-180970826/
Hi Professor Alex, A few interesting facts I learned from this chapter are: - Harriet Martineau was originally from the UK but came to the US and called out the injustice towards women and Black people at the time. - Karl Marx believed that social change occurred as a result of social conflict. Conflicts lead to conversations, which ultimately lead to change. - Herbert Spencer is known for social Darwinism, which is the belief that the strong should have more power and wealth than the weak. Marvel Esua (LD03)
Hi Professor Alex, I learned about how hard and long it is to collect primary sources - Ian Batton (LD10)
Hi Professor Alex, I learned that Herbert Spencer rejected the ideas of Karl Marx and Auguste Comte, and developed the idea of social darwinism - Ian Batton (LD10)
Thank you so much Prof Alex! I learned a lot and will apply my learning in everyday life. Samantha Curry LD10
Good Evening Professor Alex, Thank you for your video your explanation of data collection helped me learn and understand it more. I'm interested in hearing more about unethical research experiments, I've heard of the Stanford Prison Experiment. Erikaeve Ventura (LD03)

ASA Code of Ethics: www.asanet.org/wp-content/uploads/savvy/images/asa/docs/pdf/CodeofEthics.pdf
Hi Professor Alex, I learned that W. E. B. Du Bois was an African American powerhouse. He brought numbers into sociology in America and did it by hand, without any of the technology that we have now. I think the development of some of his thinkings is very inspiring as well! -Samantha Curry (LD10)
Good evening Professor Alex, I learned that Goerge Herbert Mead was a symbolic Interactionist. Symbolic interactionism is the way we interact with symbols such as clothes or how we act.
Good Evening Professor Alex, I learned about Du Bois and how he was the first person to bring statistics to the U.S. Erikaeve Ventura ( LD03)
Good Afternoon Professor Alex, Something I learned in chapter 1 was all of the theorist and what they are known for. Especially, that Harriet Martineau came into the USA to do observation and she made it open to the world.
Good afternoon Professor Alex, I learned that when conducting research, sociologist need to be very specific in defining the steps they do to measure the topic they are researching because they can't just say groups and leave it like that. They need to specify what types of groups or crowds. Tania Sanchez (LDO3)
Good afternoon Professor Alex, I learned that Harriet Martineau came from the UK and called out the U.S for their sexism and racism. Emile Durkheim was the first that thought sociology was worthy of its own field George Herbed Mead focused on the development of the self. How we perceived ourselves in different contexts. How we see ourselves and others. How we behave in different social settings. The idea that our identity arises from the process of interactions and communications with others is really valid. I say this because thinking about, in my opinion, if we were in different environments then we would think and act differently. It would all depend on our interactions. The people we are around. They usually have an influence on what we think and how we behave. - Tania Sanchez (LDO3)
Tania, you are exactly right! Symbols are contextual: based on setting, environment, time period, and who is perceiving you. For example, a lot of cultures use the middle finger, but some cultures have other symbols/gestures that mean the same thing. We also often use symbols to project information about ourselves non-verbally. For example, if you like anime, you may have shirts or stickers that depict your favorite characters... then, when you are in class, it can help you find friends or people who are interested in the same thing. Another example is wearing a cross necklace, which symbolizes that you believe in God and helps people of the same religion identify you without having to straight up say "hi yes I'm Christian, what are you?" However, to take it deeper... symbols and what they mean change over time. Something that was once politically correct may become offensive, and vice versa. In terms of the wearing a cross example, this symbol USED to indicate that you are religious. However, now, people wear crosses simply as fashion. Regarding your comment about how in different contexts we act differently, this is the concept of "dramaturgy" which essentially means that we are always acting. The way you act with your parents is different than how you act with friends which is different than you would act in class which is different than how you act at work... The way we act and portray ourselves is backed by the idea of symbolic interactionism, and that we learn and absorb (socialization) different norms and values for different situations. Like you said, we learn and mimic the people we are around; others impact how you act and what you believe. Simultaneously, you are impacting how others act and think.
Hi Professor Alex, I learned about two unethical research experiments that occurred in academia (Milgram Experiment and Stanford Prison Experiment).
Good Afternoon Professor Alex, I learned that even the richest, most affluent individuals are apart of the working (proletariat) class.
Hello, Professor Alex From your video I learned the terms natural environment and correlation vs causation. Im going to watch Stanford prison experiment because it sounds intriguing. Class (LD09)
Hello,Professor Alex I learned that Du Bois was one of the first black sociologist. He was brought looks of new things to the United States like statistics . Another thing I learned is that symbolic interactionism is something I going to be very interested in because the example of the ring on the ring finger gives the status of marriage. Plus I would like to see other places in life where symbolic interactionism can be found. Loved your video by the way. Class (LD09)
@@EmelySaavedra-t4q I highly recommend this short video on symbolic interactionism: ua-cam.com/video/aqtG4StCDqI/v-deo.htmlsi=NqpTyNS1NPFfJC_H
Good morning, Professor Alex From the theorist that contributed to the field of sociology, I learned that our interaction with people affects the way we look at ourselves; it can affect us positively or negatively. Our interaction with others also affects them too. I also learned that communication/conversation can change the state of conflict/ argument .
Hello Professor Alex, I learned a lot from this chapter. One thing I was interested in was the participant observation, although some people think it's unethical, it sounds like a really fun way to do research. It would literally be putting yourself in other people's shoes. Samuel Rivera (LD09)
Hello Professor Alex, One thing I learned in this chapter is how structural functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism are the three paradigms that dominated a lot of social discussions. Samuel Rivera (LD09)
Thank you Prof Alex! Odessa Richardson LD03
Thank you Prof. Alex.
This was very informative thank you! I didn’t know that correlation was a type of research
Hi! Correlation isn't exactly a type of research... when we do research, we are looking for a correlation or a causal link between variables (or subjects of interest.) If we find a correlation, that means that the variables are connected, but we don't know which variable effects the other. If we find a causal link, that means that we know which variable impacts or causes change in the other. Both findings are valid, but finding a causal link is typically the ultimate goal.
Good Afternoon, Professor Alex I am excited to learn more about the Stanford Prison Experiment and The Milgram Experiment. Will watch the recommended movies! Paige Gibson LD10
Thank you Prof Alex, I learned a lot, your explanations were very helpful.
Good Afternoon, Professor Alex I learned that the term for the working class is Proletariat, and was used by Karl Marx. Looking forward to learning more of Karl Marx’s work and theories. Paige Gibson LD10
One thing I learned was, Harriet advocated for the people by calling out the U.S for their racism and sexism even though she wasn't a native of that country.
Sunelane Ortega Reyes. I learned that Sociologist tend to use surveys a lot for their research as they work in understanding society and people. The best way to do that is through surveys.
The best way to get information on a lot of people quickly is surveys. But qualitative research is important because we can get a snapshot of how people were feeling during a particular time period, place, moment, or phenomena.
Sunelane Ortega Reyes. I learned that the term bourgeoisie was invented by Karl Marx to refer to the property owning wealthy people.
Hi prof Alex! Thank you for dissecting and helping us understand the different steps of research! I learned a lot about how tedious this whole process can be and the specific types of data you need. -Kristiana (Kyla) Mateo (section LD10)
It's so tedious!! But therefore, when peer-reviewed research comes out, we as the public know that they went through A LOT to get that research approved and verified. You can't just mess around and publish something... thankfully!!
Hi Professor Alex, nice video. Can a research topic be based on anything? Are there any limits? - Alannah Williamson (LD03)
You can research ANYTHING!! The more creative and unique, the better!! It's just that if you are studying a vulnerable population or touchy subject, you are going to need the right qualifications and permission. For example, if you want to study sex workers, you may need a Ph.D. This can be frustrating, but I feel good knowing that you need to be very educated and informed to approach these topics. This minimizes the harm to the participants. Typically people go into sociology to be able to study these niche subjects. You have more flexibility in sociology regarding what you can cover.
Hi Professor Alex. I learned that you should not interview someone about something traumatic without certain qualifications that could help you provide that person with resources or comfort. - Alannah Williamson (LD03)
Hi prof Alex!, A few interesting things that I gained from this lecture is: -Harriet Martineau is a British baddie that stands on business. She called the U.S. out on our racism and sexism! -Out of all the three theories, I enjoyed learning about Karl Marx and conflict theory the most! I agree with the idea that since there are power struggles, conflicts do arise, and out of those conflicts come problem solving/conversations and then change. I think that could be applied to different aspects of our personal lives as well! -Learning about Mead was really fascinating too! He said that, "our identity is developed through our interactions with others" and personally, I can resonate with that because I got some of my personality traits from the people I love and value most. - Kristiana (Kyla) Mateo (section LD10)
She is a baddie!!
