Welcome to c/sociology!

Sociology is a social science that focuses on society, human social behavior, patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and aspects of culture associated with everyday life. In simple words sociology is the scientific study of society. It uses various methods of empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop a body of knowledge about social order and social change. While some sociologists conduct research that may be applied directly to social policy and welfare, others focus primarily on refining the theoretical understanding of social processes and phenomenological method.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Generation Z Americans are significantly more likely to believe Lee Harvey Oswald was solely responsible for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy than their older compatriots, according to a new poll conducted exclusively for Newsweek.

The Redfield & Wilton Strategies survey found that, of those members of Generation Z, defined as those born between 1997 and 2012, old enough to vote, 36 percent believe "one person (Lee Harvey Oswald) was responsible for the assassination of President Kennedy."

Both the FBI and the Warren Commission, set up by President Johnson to investigate Kennedy's murder, concluded that Oswald acted alone.

However, many Americans continue to believe unverified claims that he was killed as part of a wider conspiracy, potentially involving organized crime or even government agencies.

In December 2022, a CIA spokesperson told Newsweek that 95 percent of the agencies' files related to the Kennedy assassination had been "been released in their entirety."

A similar view was expressed by Professor Peter Starr, an expert in conspiracy theories who teaches at the American University in Washington D.C.

Let’s paint an entire generation of people with the same brush. I’m sure they all think exactly the same.
