Question

a goal in sociology is to question things that are taken for granted in order to better understand the social world. another way of saying this is to
think of the world in such a way as to make the familiar strange.
think of individuals as members of an organized group.
see culture as a more powerful force than armies or industry.
place our own values above data we collect.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: "Think of the world in such a way as to make the familiar strange" aligns with sociology's goal of questioning taken - for - granted aspects to understand the social world. By making the familiar strange, we start to question what we usually accept without thought, which is a key sociological approach.
• Option 2: Thinking of individuals as members of an organized group is more about group dynamics but not the core idea of questioning the taken - for - granted to understand the social world.
• Option 3: Seeing culture as more powerful than armies or industry is a very specific and not the main way to describe the given sociological goal.
• Option 4: Placing our own values above data is against the scientific and sociological approach of being objective when studying the social world.

A. think of the world in such a way as to make the familiar strange.
