This got removed, when the main page was deleted (a bit too quickly I think):

The discipline of Social Psychology has embarked upon the study of how society's structure influences individuals and groups. One of its founders, W.I. Thomas, definition of situational dynamics describes how these varied disciplines might be related:

"If you define a situation as real, it is real to you in its consequences...however, your definition of a situation may be influenced by how others define the same situation." This simple paradigm calls into question the four disciplines of Sociology, Cultural Anthropology, Social Psychology and Traditional psychology and how they relate to each other and to their various definitions of society. Perhaps they should be grouped into a single discipline called Cultural Sociology. (Which would include all four disciplines and certain studies within Economics, History, Political Science, Statistics and Chaos Theory.)
