Military Sociology?

Question

Hi all, i'm currently thinking about my postgraduate studies and was rather drawn to the sociology sub-field of military sociology.

Can someone please give me more information about the topic? It would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

Military Sociology examines the impact of the military on society as well as the impact of society on the military

    *Sociological concepts, principles, and theories used in the study of the military;

    *The scientific method to the study of the military from a sociological perspective;

    *The military as a social institution;

    *Contemporary military issues, situations, and problems using a sociological perspective;

    *Sociological research findings related to concepts used in the sociology of the military.

With the help of sociological concepts, theories, and methods, we can analyze both the internal organization and practices of the armed forces and the relationships between the military and other social institutions. To understand the military and its place in society, it is necessary to consider the historical forces that have shaped the present. We must examine past events and policies as well as current ones.

Experts in military sociology and military history disagree on many important points. They disagree because the world of war is open to interpretation. Sometimes different interpretations result from the weight of evidence favoring one view or the other. Which counts more, for example, organization or technology? Who wins, those with the greater numbers, or those who strike first? Sometimes, different views result from incomplete descriptions. Descriptions of one and the same battle frequently include some details and exclude others, according to which writer you read.
