Statements:

-Thinking like a sociologist means making the familiar strange.

-Sociologists seek to uncover cause-and-effect relationships.

Explanation:

Sociologists study how language, media and stereotypes are formed as product of historical, contextual and changing social process.

Often this means making something very familiar, to be questioned and then profoundly: for example we ask why people and social groups act in a certain way.

Even if we think that it is out of common sense, many social actions have a higher cause and impact, that is why Sociology makes unlying causes and effect also a subject of debate.

We can see that many everyday actions are random actions but for sociogy, many social actions have a widened scope and are explained in terms of the effects and the cause that underlies.

This is why social science will concern with the concept of causality, in which an action or event will be produced in a certain response to the action in the form of another event.
