The story of the decline of sociology has been unfolding for a few decades, but it becomes a more hair-raising tale every year. The crazed and intellectually empty ideologues completely colonized the field. They have made it their own, and the consequence is that contemporary sociology is now a wasteland for any seeking the complex truths of human life. Much substance on what sociology teaches today, according to the author, can be had by consulting a collection of short videos on the [American Sociological Association] ASA site. Titled "Sociological Insights," the clips, typically about five minutes in length, feature academic sociologists discussing research in which they are engaged.
