untitled
editThe first section sounds like it was lifted from a textbook and has a LOT of typos in it. Considering how clearly and user-friendly some highly technical science articles on Wikipedia are written, this is completely unintelligible, even to a sociology student. It's obtuse and impenetrable and needs to be scraped and written from scratch so that a person without advanced degrees in sociology can understand the concept. And, even more to the point, I think this is plagiarized content. This doesn't read like a standard Wikipedia article, it has the dense language of a textbook. 64.134.102.13 (talk) 20:48, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
My mistake. The entire article is horrible, it's not just the terrible opening section. It's so obviously plagiarized that if this passed the scrutiny of the editors of the Sociology section, I can only imagine how bad the other sociological subjects are treated. This embarrasses me, as a student of sociology. We can do so much better. Even though this topic is fundamental in sociology, it would be better to delete this article completely than let it exist in its current form. 64.134.102.13 (talk) 21:01, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
- Agree, tagged appropriately, though I think it's probably vastly improved since then. 98.4.124.117 (talk) 15:02, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
