What is the core of the sociological perspective?

  1. Equal opportunities for all humans

  2. Accuracy of data collected

  3. Personal responsibility for human interaction

  4. Macro-level influences on behavior

The correct answer is: Macro-level influences on behavior

The core of the sociological perspective is the belief that macro-level influences, such as social structures and institutions, have a strong impact on individual behavior and interactions. This is different from the other options, which prioritize other factors such as personal responsibility or data accuracy. While those factors can also be important in understanding human behavior, the sociological perspective emphasizes the role of larger societal forces. This perspective helps us to see how societal factors can shape our actions and behaviors, and how individual experiences can be connected to larger social structures and systems. Therefore, D is the most accurate and comprehensive answer to this question.
