Answer to Question #210801 in Sociology for neo

Question

what Connell says about classical theory

Answer 1

At their core is the proposition that the birth of sociology involved the structure of world society rather than simply historical development of European societies. Consequently sociology was established within the culture of imperialism and embodied a cultural response to the colonized world .Connells argument recommends that if we pay greater attention to the imperial context within which sociological canon was established will enable us understand better mechanisms of its formation rather than see that formation as the effect of few great men musing on the birth of industrial society, as it has been routinely presented in influential sociological textbook.
