Micro vs macro sociology
Micro sociology studies small-scale interaction (face-to-face); macro sociology studies large-scale structures (organisations, institutions, society). Integration is challenging.
Real World
Sociologists studying racism can examine individual prejudiced interactions (micro) or institutional patterns in stop-and-search data (macro) — both levels are needed for a complete picture.
Exam Focus
Avoid conflating micro/macro with individual/society; use correct disciplinary terms and reference Giddens' structuration as a bridging attempt.
