Stephen King's book, The Stand, featured sociologist Glen Batemen as one of the few survivors in a post-apocalyptic world. His explanation of sociology offers a provocative understanding of the field and its use in popular culture.
The Stand
"Shall I tell you what sociology teaches us about the human race? I'll give it to you in a nutshell. Show me a man or woman alone and I'll show you a saint. Give me two and they'll fall in love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call "society". Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare." Glen Batemen, featured Sociologist in Steven King’s book: The Stand
