It's interesting that you use the Indonesian (Javanese) shadow pupper or "wayang kulit" to illustrate your point on the differences of agency theories vs the structuralist ones. If anything it's an appropriate choice.
What are your thoughts on the cult like following of "Jordan Peterson" and his emphasis on the individual taking personal responsibility for everything? I wonder why he has such a large cult following and so much influence :S
no, sociology actually help one to rise above their problems, to be able to think that one's personal problem is related to a much broader social problem ( refer to C. Wright Mills on sociological imagination)
