sociology: perspective, theory, and method.

In today's class we talk about the different perspectives we all have towards societies. The influences on how we act, think and feel.
The Sociological Perspective is something that WE, as potential chefs, need to understand, to have a clear idea of what food are we going to sell in a particular place of the planet.
According to this chapter, "we live in an individualistic society, learning to see how society affect us may take a bit of practice".
That's why we need to try to understand Sociology if we don't want to make any mistakes when we open a busyness in a certain place. I have seen those mistakes everywhere and it's not hard to wonder on " How this people thought that an upscale gourmet restaurant was going to be a good busyness in such a crappy neighborhood?" . Well it happens!.
Also we can totally succeed if we study very carefully the place in which our busyness is going to be at. "A kosher restaurant in a city that has a big Jewish community".This may be a good thing, right?.
But then again, we need to be careful, maybe the city has too many of those restaurants and one more is not going to be notice.
Anyways, the point is that the Sociological Perspective,  it's a very important tool that can help us to succeed, and the understanding of it, it's our next goal, for now!.
