place as a result of the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution.During the French Revolution，which began in 1789，F(xiàn)rances class system changed dramatically.Aristocrats (貴族)suddenly lost their money and status，while peasants，who had been at the bottom of the social ladder，rose to more powerful and influential positions.The Industrial Revolution followed on the heels of the French Revolution，unfolding in Western Europe throughout the 1800s.During the Industrial Revolution，people abandoned a life of agriculture and moved to cities to find factory jobs.They worked long hours in dangerous conditions for low pay.New social problems appeared and，for many decades，little was done to solve the difficulty of the urban poor.Comte looked at the extensive changes brought about by the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution and tried to make sense of them.He felt that the social sciences that existed at the time，including political science and history，couldnt adequately explain the confusion and changes he saw around him.He decided an entirely new science was needed.He called this new science sociology，which comes from the root word socius，a Latin word that means “companion” or “being with others.”At the University of Chicago，Albion Small (18541926)developed qualitative sociology，which is concerned mainly with trying to obtain an accurate picture of a group and how it operates in the world.Small and his followers were particularly interested in understanding how immigration was affecting the city and its residents.From the middle of the nineteenth century to roughly the middle of the twentieth century，massive numbers of people immigrated to the United States from a variety of countries.Chicago in particular attracted many immigrants from Poland.Early sociologists were fascinated by the social changes they saw taking place and began conducting qualitative studies that involved personal interviews and observations of racial ceremonies.Some University of Chicago sociologists actually went back to Poland to interview people who were about to immigrate to the United States，who had relatives who were immigrants，or who had no intention of immigrating anywhere.In keeping with the spirit of qualitative sociology，the researchers felt that they could understand the experiences of Polish immigrants only if they also understood their reality and experiences before they left their homeland.Today，qualitative sociology emphasizes understanding individuals experiences by examining their books，television programs，interactions，and ceremonies，among other elements.For example，a sociologist hoping to understand the experiences of emergency medical technicians (EMTs)might spend time riding in the backs of ambulances as the EMTs go out on calls.Sociology at Harvard University developed differently.Like the University of Chicago sociologists，Harvard sociologists wanted to understand the immigrant experience，but they went about their research in a quantitative way.Quantitative sociology relies on statistical analysis to understand experiences and trends.While some researchers at Harvard did talk to people and observe them，many preferred to remain within the walls of the university and quantify their data to make it suitable for statistics.SociologyThe social 20._ where sociology was bornThe French Revolution
