1(a).The purpose of this chapter is to try to explore the research methods used by sociologists. The purpose here is to explain the process and how they questions and describe or to understand and analyze the social phenomenon.

Human is the process of acquiring knowledge are dozens of ways.

For instance, the authoritative, experienced, law, tradition, apocalyptic, science and more. The act creating the authority to make the trust gwonwieun data. Experience will be gained from physical skills but also the skills learned in subjective. In the past, the tradition has repeatedly earned the anniversary, but today just to get the satisfaction to celebrate the New Year. Apocalypse is that they will be the revelation of the Qur'an, such as high power through the temple, and the law. Scientific knowledge is going to leave as a result based on cause and effect. At this point, if you did not use the scientific method, the information will be rejected.

In addition, In addition, Sociology is different physics and chemistry but it is the study of relationship variable and predict outcomes. qualitative sociology is to understand the culture and the development of the condition, rather than the theory predicted.

Sociologists use the hypothesis, observation, etc. If the theory is correct if wrong will not survive it will be destroyed. The four steps are essential elements of the scientific method.

1.Characterization 2.Hypothesis 3.Prediction 4.Testing

These four courses are integrated into the research process, as in the following views.

Define-Conduct-Formulate-Design-Select-Operationalize-Identify-Collect-Analyze-Reporting

Through delicated and many process, the results will come out.

 

2(b).Social scientists say social phenomenon, to explain the theory. Examples of these theories is two putt's theory is more than one variable you establish a working relationship. for example Culture of the United States decreased Citizens with culture and increased what watching TV. There are also a lot of theories in sociology, but noticeable few different. There is a theoretical point of view this can convincingly explain the theory is a social phenomenon.

Functionalism is a theory to explain the individual's biological component to the social system. Functionalism is draw inspiration from the idea of Emile Durkheim. Durkheim common shared values, taste or created by the system of exchange. So I should think to understand these cultures and society. But where functionalism is public order and equilibrium because I was so focused on social change can't explain the criticism. Merton the distinction between latent function and manifest f. Potential function is not intended in the system as a society. This has led some people to create boundaries. Another theory is conflict theory is one where functionalism, as opposed to collision theory. Conflict theory is a complex system for a balance that lead to competition, but is actually making. Conflict theory is an area of the lack of structural-functionalism to fill.

In addition each other's theory of many societies explain filling social situation in the lack of the theory.
