Question

Macrosociology and microsociology seem to make very different assumptions about how society works. How does sociology, as a discipline, deal with these two very different perspectives? Group of answer choices Microsociology used to dominate the field, but more recently macrosociology has become the dominant perspective. Most sociologists are macrosociologists, making microsociologists a small minority. Most sociologists think of these two perspectives as being on a continuum with each other, adopting whatever perspective seems most useful for a particular problem. Although the field is fairly evenly split between perspectives, almost all sociologists feel strongly that their perspective is the correct one. Most sociologists are microsociologists, and only a small minority still finds macrosociology a satisfying approach.

Answer 1

Most sociologists think of these two perspectives as being on a continuum with each other, adopting whatever perspective seems most useful for a particular problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Most sociologists think of these two perspectives as being on a continuum with each other, adopting whatever perspective seems most useful for a particular problem. When dealing with each particular problem, sociologists decide which perspective to adopt. In fact, sociologists can benefit from both perspectives when dealing with particular problems because being on a continuum makes them complementary.
