Explanation / Answer
39.Concepts. They all are examples of sociological concepts.
40.Participant observation.Participant observation extends beyond naturalistic observation because the observer is a "player" in the action. The technique is used in many studies in Anthropology and Sociology.
41.Sociological imagination.It is the practice of being able to “think ourselves away” from the familiar routines of our daily lives in order to look at them with fresh, critical eyes.
42.Structural functionalism, or, simply, functionalism, is a framework for building theory that sees society as a complex system whose parts work together to promote solidarity and stability.
43.Individual interactions creating a shared meaning.Individuals are created through interaction; society too is created through social interaction. What we do depends on interaction with others earlier in our lifetimes, and it depends on our interaction right now. Social interaction is central to what we do. If we want to understand cause, focus on social interaction.
44.Positivism.He also gave the name "Positive" to the last of these because of the polysemous connotations of the word.
