  Sorry, not really. I could only point you towards my wayward comment mentioning Weber and Dürkheim.

  Sociology really wouldn’t be a bad place to start, you can see how the words are derived from the same base. I don’t know any modern thinkers, I flunked out pretty early from that uni.

  If you try the inward out method (by observing social transactions, peer pressures), you would still be well off to pick up some literature, so you can get some framing for it.

  Sorry if came through as judgy in my first comment. What territory of sociology interests you? Why do you want to learn more on the topic?

  In the school where I was taught, one of the major directions was statistics. Harm reduction and drug policy also go under the umbrella. I really enjoyed the idea of mental maps, but that might’ve been the cultural anthropology class (which kinda bleeds over into the subject).

  Easy way? What do you mean by that? Sociology doesn’t even have a basic axiom, it’s such an elusive thing.

  Either be attentive and critical to the social constructs that surround you (if possible, it’s really hard to just observe, because many things we thing are natural, like inhereting your father’s name, not your mother’s), or start reading Max Weber, Karl Marx & Emile Dürkheim’s writings to get started.

  I was against banning the communities, but the second link doesn’t feel like it deserved to be banned. Many examples brought up in the vote were comments that were looking for a fight, using aggressive language.

  It’s also pretty telling that the vote was about banning access to communities, and after it finished, they banned the whole instance. I guess it is important to the community (or the folks that are paying to support the instance), that everyone is on the same page on this issue.
