Activity: Photo Review

figure pointing to starsIn the lecture I explained that, from a sociological perspective, “family,” like “friendship,” “happiness,” “science,” and “technology,” is a concept. A concept is a word we use for a mental image of something that exists only in the abstract. I’d like to illustrate this point by having you do the following exercise.

Examine the two photographs linked through the Photo Review. I want you to describe what you see in the picture. Describe just what you see, not the relationships you belive exist.
