Question 3

what are the problems of using common sense to build sociological interactions?

Answer 3

Common sense assumptions regarding individual action often fails.
Ex: Decision biases; Lazarsfeld’s study; Organ donation; Lost Letter Exp.; Financial rewards
Social interactions are complex. Simplifications of common sense can’t properly explain them.
Ex: Minimum wage; Taxation; Urban planning; Death Penalty
Our ‘explanations’ of events are usually only plausible stories. They’re not actual causal explanations.
Ex: protests and movements; Firm success
