Detailed explanation-1: -Weber identified two main ways in which sociologists (and, I would argue, students and teachers) should try to understand social situations. The first was aktuelles Verstehen, which is direct observational understanding, and the second was erklärendes Verstehen, which is often referred to as empathetic understanding.
Detailed explanation-2: -Symbolic interactionism emphasizes the social meanings and understandings that individuals derive from their social interaction. Utilitarianism emphasizes that people act in their self-interest by calculating whether potential behaviors will be more advantageous than disadvantageous.
Detailed explanation-3: -The sociological perspective is an approach to understanding human behavior by placing it within its broader social context. C. Wright Mills referred to the sociological perspective as the intersection of biography (the individual) and history (social factors that influence the individual).
