Abstract

Marx, Durkheim, Weber, and Goffman are all familiar names in the world of Sociology. Although the four share a common passion for sociological materials; each of these theorists view, support, and explain different situations based on their own beliefs. The article, Penny-Wise, Not Pound Foolish, written by Stephanie Saul is an article about the lengths in which obese people will go to improve their physical health. The content in this article would be interpreted differently by each social theorist, but each would have several points and ideas to illustrate the story.
