Max Weber's Texts Sociology of World Religions Part I. Western Civilization Viewpoint (35 k) Weber focuses on the uniqueness of Western Civilization. The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism His best-known work. It argues that modern rational capitalism originated in the ethos of ascetic Protestantism. He unveils the paradoxical outcome that the Protestant ethic of vocational and methodical conduct of life unintentionally gave birth the spirit of capitalism. The Protestant Sects and the Spirit of Capitalism (58 k) Weber describes the traveling impression of the United States, and sees its social foundation in the Protestant sects. Part II. World Religions Introduction (105 k) Comparative outline of economic ethics of five world religions. Sociology of Confucianism and Taoism It deals with sociological foundations and dynamic of Confucianism and Taoism though Chinese history. He contrasts Confucian rational ethos of world-accommodation with Puritan's rational ethos of world-reformation. The Rejection of the World and Theodicy (104 k) Genuine salvation religion rejects and confronts to the value of the world. Weber awakens unavoidable tention between religious value and worldly activities.

F LORIDA A TLANTIC U NIVERSITY A Member of the State University System of Florida A Career Guide for the Sociology Major What holds some groups of people together and pulls others apart? Sociologists seek answers to these and other key questions facing our increasingly complex social order. As scientists, sociologists explore social order and disorder in areas ranging from art to war, from the shaping of an individual's attitudes to the development of a group's basic values, and from the structure of families to the nature of bureaucracy. Sociology is a holistic science that studies the nature, origin, and development of human society and communal life. Research is a basic activity of the sociologist. Sociologists use their research to provide insights that aid us in understanding the different ways in which individuals and groups make decisions, exercise power or respond to change. To explain the varying conditions of life, sociologists have to look at society in various ways; as a network of individuals in interaction, as a series of interlocking games, and as a complex system of relationships. No aspect of behavior in society, however routine and trivial it may appear, is without meaning and importance to the sociologist, who seeks explanations that can be directed toward the improvement of human conditions The following Interests and Aptitudes/Qualities are associated with or needed for success in the study of this major.

HOME SOCIOLOGY IN THE NEWS AUTHOR'S MESSAGE Nearly everything of importance in our lives occurs through some type of social group. This chapter examines the variety and characteristics of social groups, including ingroup; outgroup; primary, secondary, and reference group; and the impact of group size on group dynamic. An organization consists of a group of people with an identifiable membership that engages in concerted collective actions to achieve a common purpose. Bureaucracy Nearly everything of importance in our lives occurs through some type of social group. A social group is a collection of people who share a common identity and regularly interact on the basis of shared expectations concerning behavior. Variety and Characteristics of Groups Social aggregate : a group of people who happen to be together in a particular place and time but do not significantly interact or identify with one another. Social category : people who share a common characteristic, such as gender or occupation.

Therefore trivial risks must be avoided at all costs, even if it means incurring huge risks.

Sociology 101B Spring, 2000 Michael Burawoy HISTORY OF SOCIAL THEORY This is the second semester of our two semester course devoted to the history of social theory. Last semester we studied the development of Marxism beginning with the writings of Marx and Engels followed by Lenin, Gramsci and Fanon. This semester we will study various critical responses to Marxism, beginning with Durkheim and Weber, and then moving on to contemporary theorists, namely Foucault, De Beauvoir, and MacKinnon. Although the critique of Marx and Marxism has loomed large in sociological theory, we can also construct a dialogue among Durkheim, Weber, Foucault and feminism. Thus, we will see how Weber can be viewed as a response to Durkheim, how Foucault combines and moves beyond both of these and how feminism, assimilates, rejects and moves beyond the entire sociological canon. As last semester, we will study our theorists through the lens of the division of labor and the inspiration this gives to their different conceptions of history. We will see how the major historical divide is not, as it was for Marxism, between a communist future and a pre-communist past, but between "modern," "rational-legal," "industrial" and "disciplinary" society on the one side and "traditional," "patrimonial," "feudal," and "repressive" society on the other. The communist future is denied in different ways. The optimistic Durkheim argues that "socialism," or something like it, is almost already with us whereas the pessimistic Weber argues that "communism" can only lead to deeper bureaucratization. Foucault goes even further to dismiss conceptions of any utopian future as dangerous while feminists naturally ask what happens to male domination in this classless utopia.
