DOING SOCIOLOGY: RESEARCH METHODS
Sociology is considered a social science because it deals with aspects of human society that most people are already familiar with, such as social groups, institutions, norms, and relationships.
Sociologists are individuals who are differentiated from the general population due to their specific approach to understanding society.
What sets sociologists apart is not their knowledge but rather their method of acquiring knowledge.
Sociologists are deeply interested in comprehending the lived experiences of individuals and social phenomena. This means delving into people’s emotions, beliefs, and opinions regarding various aspects of life.
