What do sociologists do? <\/strong>Rather than working with one person at a time to determine the state of his or her mental health, sociologists have a more daunting task: Figuring out the behaviors of people when they act in concert with others.<\/p>\n

This profession takes a microscopic look at what happens to individuals when they are influenced by other people, cultures, organizations, and institutions, according to the U.S. Bureau of Statistic\u2019s Occupational Outlook Handbook.<\/p>\n

Using both quantitative and qualitative research tools plus investigative methods not unlike those employed by other social science professions, sociologists use classic and contemporary theories to understand individual and group behavioral patterns.<\/p>\n

Can movies help sociologists understand more about group behavior? The answer is yes.<\/p>\n

Some films are so intuitive, they have the power to change the way society acts, behaves, and responds to diverse social issues. These 10 movies are particularly important because they help moviegoers better understand the dynamics of why people behave as they do when they’re no longer acting alone.<\/p>\n

Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore won a 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for this documentary and there is no denying the daunting message: Society must become more aware of the international impact of global warming before it\u2019s too late. This cinematic early warning earned critical praise and continues to do so.<\/p>\n

Pairing film footage showing a declining environment with statistics on weather pattern changes, Gore\u2019s concerns about climate change and his haunting final message serve as a warning of what mankind must do to safeguard the future of our planet. It’s been 36 years and Gore’s warnings appear to have been ignored, say environmental sociologists.<\/p>\n
