digest from sociology

The first rule of sociology is : Things ar not what they seem to be (Berger,1963:23). Social reality has many layers , and as we penetrate those layers, new realities and new truths emerge. Sociologists accept the fact that one person's "thuth" may not be another's. People can become blinded by their own truths so that they are unable to see others, as in the fable of the four blind menand the elephant.
