Nature of Sociology

  1. Sociology is a social science but not a natural science.

    Sociology studies human society, therefore it is a social science. It does not study the field of the knowledge of natural sciences. It is concerned with human society and their as own activities.

  2. It is an independent social science.

    Sociology is not the branch of any other social sciences because it has it's own subject matter, method of study independent branch of study. Although it is a new social science, it emerged as an independent social science like economics, education, political science, etc.

  3. Sociology is general but not particular or specific.

    Sociology studies human society for different perspective like economic, political. psychological, educational, etc. Therefore, it is general social science. Other social sciences are particular or specific because they studied specific part of human life.

  4. Sociology is pure science not applied.

    Sociology studies basic knowledge of social science. It is concerned with "what is" but not "what should be". It does not try to apply it's knowledge to the human society. Therefore it is a pure science but not an applied one. We can take the example from other sciences. Physics is pure science but engineering is an applied field. Geology and Botany are pure sciences but genetic engineering and biotechnology is their applied field. Similarly Sociology is pure field and Applied Sociology is it's applied field.

  5. Sociology is abstract rather than concrete.

    Sociology studied social system, social relationship and human psychology in group. These elements are abstract in nature. That is why we can feel it but can't touch it. It is concerned with form rather than events and patterns. Therefore, it is more abstract than concrete.

  6. Sociology is more analytical than descriptive.

    Sociology tries to analyze the social events, process and system. Generally it compares those elements of different society. It does not describe the society what does by the history. It compares the culture, society and human community and compare their social elements.
