I would love a graphic (infographic of sorts) that visually recaps the lesson and that I could either save or print out. These videos are incredible and filled with great information, and I actually love the pace that you're speaking. However without having to rewatch these it's hard to recall specific info. I personally try not to use my smart devices so much these days, and an old fashioned flash card would be just perfect.
Hell, doing flashcards that can be purchased via link at the end of each lesson would be a great potential way to help fund your business model.
I'm very excited about starting my Sociology career and these videos are really stoking that flame of excitement. Thank you!

I think it doesn't matter whether you believe sociology is a science or not, that might be your subjective opinion. It matters whether you care about the things it discusses and the changes it tries to bring about. If you're passionate about learning things, sometimes you should blank slate your mind and really think about what matters. I think personally it is just that everything she's talking about makes sense to me and that I have thought in these directions and these talks provide more structure and information for me to improve my society paradigm.

-There is no objective truth about what the best book is. -
Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's not how this goes. Even though in reality no one can say one book is objectively the best book, that doesn't mean objectivity doesn't exist in that debate. It depends on the standards you apply in your argument. You CAN try and convince someone that something is objectively the best, and how successful you are in doing that relies on how convincing you are and how consistent it is to your standard.
So good video, but you used a bad example there.

-Social Studies- was shrewd. It was the first discipline to jump out of the burning playpen that is -Anything Studies-, and get itself a real name. -Sociology-. Sounds scientific. I'll fund that.

Why is positivist sociology presented as mainstream, and interpretivist/critical as -alternative-? This seems out of touch with realities of contemporary sociology.

You seem to have gotten Median and Mean mixed up. The Median is only the middle number in a range and doesn't represent 50% of the information.

Good point. The behaviors of the observed changes if know it is observed. should keep in mind. Although it depends to time to time.

Why do i feel that I'd have more attention to listen to her if she had short brown hair and wore cherry coloured t shirt?
