As Bill Buckley once noted, Sociology is a fake discipline.

Sociology is a fake discipline.

Once I found myself enrolled in a sociology course, which, after having had a number of economics courses, struck me as, well, dumb. I made myself easily the most disliked person in that class as I constantly berated the course content. But I didn't care what they thought of me (part of my charm) and I easily made an "A" in the course, which spoke well of the fairness of the professor.

I tend to agree with Bill Buckley. My undergrad BA degree was a joint major of Religion/Sociology with a minor in Communication. It’s a good thing I was a “mature” student over 50, so I was able to see the uselessness of Sociology. Most of it is pure bunk. Mostly the courses are designed to produce “progressives” who have”feelings” and “caring”.

One question on my Sociology 101 final was "What is Sociology?"

My answer was "Sociology is the practice of taking things everyone knows exist, putting them in groups, and giving the groups names nobody remembers."

I received a zero on that question, but I stand by my definition.
