Four sociologists meet in a café to discuss their thoughts on the science, individuality and institutions of sociology.
I am Émile Durkheim.
I am Max Weber.
I am Harriet Martineau.
The scientific method can be applied to sociology because sociology itself is defined as the study of human behavior and society.
First, they talk about their thoughts on the science of sociology.
I agree with your ideas, but I also think you need to carry them out to establish a basis of science.
I don't believe it is possible to use the same scientific procedures to study people the same way we do other things.
I think we need to focus on studying all aspects of society.
Sociology should follow the model of physics. It should also have some contribution to society. If other studies of sciences contribute to their topics, then so should we.
They continue talking about their thoughts on the science of sociology.
Sociologists need to focus on studying social facts so we can use them to learn and shape society cased off of them.
We must acknowledge the fact that humans are thinking, reasoning beings who's feelings vary on everything. This makes it hard to apply a specific science to things.
I agree with Weber. Feelings about things such as religions and politics are not constant with every human.
