actually, it is useful - in the sense that it says that understanding the sociology of things is just as important as understanding the sociology of humans - so i suppose i could find more articles along those lines; three things tho, industries, humans and the law.
the article mentions morality and the law - within the context of the seatbelt - i suppose the difficulty i have with it is towards the end where it says that sociologists are seeking inflexible laws that will make human act in a more moral way. true to some extent looking at the purpose of law, from a legal perspective, but quite controversial, unless ofcourse its criminal law, and even if it were, still a bit controversial - it's aim is not to coerce human beings to act in a particular way - or am i in denial???? .
