Different Sociological lensesHow do you see
education?
Individual Peoples decisions and behaviors are guided by interpretation and meaning (Weber) Society Features in society affect individual outcomes - people are blank slates) (Durkheim)
Human Agency People are free to think and make society, to maintain language and culture (Friere) Structural Determinism People are social products. We are products of structures like bureaucracy and hierarchy (Taylor)
Stability People seek stability. Consensus and shared values are a normal state. Change threatens society (Compte) Conflict People seek change. Change tensions growth and cleansing. Diversity is a preferred situation (Foucault)
Positivism The Truth is known, there is one answer. Objective laws govern society Patterns exist that explain cause and effect (Laws can be made). (Locke) Interpretivism All human knowing depends on observation and interpretation of reality. (Husserl)
