"No matter how crowded the square of life gets, remember that your only true task is to live your own small, beautiful story with an open heart.”

[Shekhar Dutt @DuttShekhar]

15 sociologists who understood society before society understood itself:

1. Karl Marx : the system does not just exploit your labor, it shapes your desires too so that you never stop labouring

2. Max Weber : modern life while chasing systematic existence traps people inside invisible cages called rules, efficiency, and routine

3. Émile Durkheim : loneliness is not personal failure, it is what happens when society loses cohesion

4. Pierre Bourdieu : your “taste” in music, food, language, culture is an inherited class privilege disguised as choice

5. Michel Foucault : power works best when you think someone is watching you all the time and you start policing yourself without anyone forcing you

6. Erving Goffman : social life is like performing in a theatre, and people are performing different roles in front of different audiences sometimes in front of others as front stage and sometimes in private as back stage

7. Zygmunt Bauman : modern relationships feel fragile because society itself has become unstable and always changing shapes like a liquid

8. C. Wright Mills : your private struggles are often public issues created by larger systems.. so if you are finding it difficult to find a job, it might be less about you and possibly more about how it might be the economy at this moment.. same is with personal struggles with relationships, break ups, divorces, depression, infidelity, meaninglessness.. it’s less about you and more about how the society is at the moment

9. Herbert Marcuse : people can feel free while living inside systems designed to control them

10. Jean Baudrillard : modern society does not consume products, it consumes symbols, images, illusions

11. Antonio Gramsci : the strongest domination is when people voluntarily accept the ideas hurting them

12. George Herbert Mead : your “self” is not born inside you, it is built through interaction with others.. so your image of yourself in your head is how you think others think about you..

13. Talcott Parsons : society survives because millions of people silently perform expected roles every day and agree with what rewards come with those roles

14. Harriet Martineau : you cannot understand a society unless you examine how it treats women and the powerless

15. Ulrich Beck : modern society creates risks so complex.. and society is categorised accordingly on how well one can ward off risk better than others.. and it’s reaching a point that even progress itself starts becoming dangerous

Will share more in coming days and how sociology really makes your life better 😊

No human is born to fit into systems created by other humans. Yet, if someone struggles to adapt to these systems, they are often labeled as “useless.” In reality, survival today seems to demand that everyone, willingly or unwillingly, finds a way to fit into these systems.

I couldn’t see how anyone could be educated by this self-propagating system in which people pass exams, and teach others to pass exams, but nobody knows anything.

The true strength of states today lies not in weapons, but in the wise use of humanity’s resources.

@AshnaRaja Hmmmm.......I appreciate your thought.

[AppuJunior_08 @appujunior]

In theory we are seeking egalitarian society which is Utopian.

In reality what I understood is:
- Words spoken by rich people have weight

- Words spoken by middle class have moderate weight

- Words spoken by poor people have no weight

Why do marks, fame, money, and possessions get so much importance when, in the end, what truly defines a person is their character and who they are from within?

[AppuJunior_08 @appujunior]

If you follow the crowd, you’ll be liked and accepted.
But if you go against it, you may be disliked yet you’ll ultimately prevail.
