Used by sociologists (authority, experience, tradition, revelation, science), etc. These methods are called epistemology.  And the information gathered through the science in sociology will receive privileges. If it is backed by scientific information gathered by. This approach, which uses the science is often called is called positivism. This method uses a deductive reasoning techniques.

opinion)
When I studied hish school class society, I'm a little bit roughly study this subject. I was read only core part that appear on the exam. But come to the University, I can study this subject more detailed, I'm so glad. Especially, correlation and causation part give me exceeding lesson. Example like icecream was interesting for me.

Question)
What are the Quantitative research methods and qualitative research methods each.etc?

summary)
This post illustrate importance of theory and prominent sociological theories. The famous social theory has the following:
First, Structural-Functionalism and Conflict Theory! I want to summarize to tie these two. In Structural-Functionalism, believes that social inequality is natural. Because they think individual efforts are most important. But in Conflict Theory, believes that social inequality is unnatural. Because they think Vested interests of dominant groups made social inequalities.
and considerable funny theory! It is Symbolic Interactionism.
It is Typical microscopic viewpoint. Depending on whether community members gives social phenomenon meaning, Social phenomenon are changed. In conclusion, this theory think Individual subjectivity are very important. Although there are many theories else, Focusing on the most interesting perspective, I wrote this article.

interesting point!)
As mentioned earlier, I worte this article about theories that was interest for me. Among them, I like best Symbolic Interactionism. because this theory most similar to my point of view. but It does not ignore other theories. All theories have merit. but also have limit.
thus, I will increase my perspective on social phenomena with each theories.

question)
Symbolic Interactionism very emphasize relativity of society. What's the scope of that relativity can be tolerated?
