TEACHSOC: Re: Time-tested sociological insights

[John Glass]

hi, Michael   i see a distinction between insight and evidence, so i am going to say that i think there is consenus that the following are "givens":   individuals are products of social interaction we are unfinished products as we are continually being shaped by others we shape others also this reciprocal shaping results in various qualities of life no one is shaped the exact same way, but we share similar behavioral repertoires humans are absolutely dependent on others for survival resources are unequally distributed among populations of people the distribution of resources remains fairly constant from generation to generation.   i am sure there are more, but these are the ones off the top of my head.   john       John E.
