002 Why sociology and how it is useful?

I started studying sociology in 1964 as a student of Tunghai University, majoring in sociology, after a season of changing in my life. I would address the series of changes in another posting later. 在經歷了一個經歷生命巨變的季節之後,我於1964年在東海大學主修社會的學生開始學習社會學。 稍後,我將在另一篇文章中介紹一系列變更。
Sociology, a new-found field to me, caught my attention and interest at the first sight in college days. 社會學是我新發現的一個領域,在大學時代第一眼就引起了我的注意和興趣。
  
I remember how I was struck when I learned that Comte, a physicist, was the founder of such field early in the course of Introduction to Sociology, a required course for all the sociology major. 我記得當我大學早期在概論課程(所有社會學專業的必修課程)得知物理學家孔德是社會學創始人時的,我感到非常震驚。
The course was taught by Mr. Ju-chi Hsi, who was a scholar born and educated in China and went to finish his college degree in Taiwan. He was awarded the scholarship for studying abroad with public (governmental) fund in the year of 1955 according to this webpage published. 該課程由在中國出生和受過教育的學者席汝輯先生教授,他在台灣完成了大學學業。 根據此網頁發布,他於1955年獲得了公共(政府)基金的出國留學獎學金。


I did not know anything about the name Comte before that first sociology class in my life. It opened my mind to realize that every new field of knowledge is started by someone from other fields. Later, I came up with a generalization that in every field of profession the least qualified person with the least knowledge of that field was the founder of the field. This is very encouraging to me, especially after I was immersed in the PHD study of social work research and learned that I was expected to break through with a new field, no matter how small that field is, that I start. 在我生命中的第一門社會學課程之前,我對Comte這個名字一無所知。 我打開了認識到,每個新的知識領域都是由其他領域的人開始的。 後來,我得出一個概括,即在每個專業領域中,對該領域知識最少的最不合格的人是該領域的創始人。 這對我來說非常鼓舞人心,尤其是在我沉浸於社會工作研究的PHD研究中並得知我有望突破一個新領域後,無論該領域有多小,我都可以開始。

來看看讀過社會學在職場上有什麼好處。先看看社會學領域有哪些內涵可學。再來看主修和選修的差別。
