2 Roles of Canadians being Inactive?
Individual: social integrity groups?
Society: external factors -born, live, etc
Sociology
The scientific study of society
-includes patterns of social relationships, interactions, culture, and behaviour
Society is needed to improve living conditions among
Groups who are most in need
Culture
Shapes social relationships

3 units of Analysis are:
Macro level
Micro Level
Individual Level
What is the Macro Level:

Micro Level is:
Groups, including interactions between 2+ people
-smaller level
The Individual Level is:
-thoughts/ beliefs are influenced by others in our social environment
-psychosocial factors
-smallest level of perspective
Sociological perspective:
Seeing the general in the particular AND seeing the strange in the familiar
What does seeing the general in the particular even mean??
Understand behaviour by placing it in a wider societal context
-understand factors influence the lives of people in different categories
What does seeing the strange in the familiar mean?
Approach our everyday world occurrences as if we are seeing it for the first time
-seeing usual and familiar things as if we were for the first time
The strange in the familiar is difficult because
Our society is normal to us and its hard to see its impact on us

Provide a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future
