Radical Sociology

Radical sociology is a perspective within sociology that seeks to understand and address the root causes of social problems, emphasizing issues of power, inequality, and social justice. It often critiques mainstream sociological approaches for failing to challenge the status quo. Radical sociologists investigate how societal structures, like capitalism and patriarchy, contribute to oppression and exploitation. By advocating for change, they aim to empower marginalized groups and promote transformative social justice. This approach encourages a critical examination of how social norms and institutions can perpetuate inequality, urging action toward a more equitable society.
