Answers to the Common Sense Quiz

Okay, ready?



All of the answers to this quiz are based on sociological research.




What is important is that research often reveals contradictions to common sense.  That is why sociology is based on research and evidence and not just one person's opinion about society.  So, the answers to the quiz are false.  That's right!  Go check.  There are reasons that explain each answer.  So, don't be tricked into thinking that sociology is common sense.  Sociology might study everyday life and common issues but the understanding of this might be anything but common sense.

So the lesson target here is that you identify sociology as being based on research.
