Name: ___________________________________________________________________________________ Founders of Sociology WebQuest Your task is to investigate the founders of Sociology. Sociology is a relatively new area of study emerging in the 1800's. Massive changes occurred during the late 1800's, such as many nationalist revolutions, the Industrial Revolution, changes in science and math, ideas of progress and democracy. The Industrial Revolution is tagged as the primary cause of change during the 19th century leading to changes in economy, politics, and society. As a result of these drastic changes, great thinkers began to wonder what triggered the societal shifts taking place around them. Using methods created for the physical sciences during the Scientific Revolution, social thinkers set out to understand the new dynamic taking shape under industrialization. Originating in European countries such as Great Britain, France, and Germany, Sociology took shape and quickly spread as a means to better understand the world in which we live as well as how we connect to that world. The United States was quick to pick up this new area of study dealing with similar issues of industrialization as Europe. American Sociology became hands-on focusing not only on studying society but also finding solutions and changing society. These sociologists became the modern social worker, using sociology to better understand what causes problems and then using the results to fix the society around them. The influence of Sociology continues today in all social fields including social work, teaching, criminal justice, and social reformers. The founders of Sociology started an age of thinking about society and why it changes. Sociology is now one of the fastest growing and popular areas of study with many branches including criminal justice and social work. The theories created by the founders are still used to evaluate religion, marriage, race/ethnicity, education, poverty, government, gender, age and many more areas of our society Notes: __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ Focus Questions: What is the biographical information of your founder?
