Sociological Thinking Vs Common Sense Analysis

In the text dedicated to sociological thinking, Zygmunt Bauman and Tim May are trying to point out differences between sociology and other disciplines, its connection with common sense and importance of ability to think sociologically.
To begin with, what distinguishes sociology from economics or political science? Authors came to the conclusion that scholars of different disciplines ask dissimilar questions which leads to exploration and explanation of the same issues and events from various points of view. Sociology is interested in interpretation of human actions and finding out their consequences for society. As it is stated in the text, the core question of this science refers to influence of social relations and societies on the way people interact, see themselves, people`s actions

Talking about sociology and common sense, authors name four arguments to show the differences between this science and “disorganized, non-systematic, inarticulate and ineffable knowledge” called common sense. If to summarise these arguments, we could conclude that common sense means that people do not need special knowledge or background to explain and understand what happens in their life, while sociology is more complicated and strict; to think sociologically people have to analyse the reality, they cannot accept things as they are, without thinking; people should investigate things and ask questions about the world, other people, themselves. Thus sociology makes people more conscious, develops their minds, and broadens horizons. In addition, sociology teaches to explain the same occasions and facts in different ways, to watch on them from various points of view, otherwise, to think critically. So we see that sociological way of thinking is extremely beneficial as far as to obtain this way of mentation, people should learn more about both themselves and other people and, consequently, the more people are able to think this way,
