Sociology Queation?

Question

True or False and explanation, please.

Answer 1

Wow the sociology section is good today. Sociology has it's place so  cognomen is one  thing you are defining and  philosophy is another I am not really doubting your presupposition but  where i find  difficulty in is  the  premises of  the statement. I don't think these two are sciences (sociology and  Psychology) psychology moreso

suspicions  do not present  a science  but a stereotype. which emerges  into Christianity (religion)  to political  to the  authorities  It is  very  hard to answer a good  question like this in  such little  time  though.. But thank you for asking the question I hope I did  well  I gave it my  best.

Answer 2

If this is a question for school, your professor probably wants you to argue false, but my personal experience has shown that there is a degree of suspicion in sociology toward authority.

OK, here's why the answer should be false:

Sociology is a heterogenous subject.  There are schools of sociology, like the Weberian and the Chicago School, who feel that social scientists should disinterestedly report on society.  They do not advocate change as scientists, because they feel that arguing for change is subjective, and that scientists should strive to be as objective as possible.

On the other hand, there are other schools of sociology, like the Marxian and Critical Theory, that believe that the point of philosophy is not to report on the world, but to change it.  Existing arrangements produce inequities and socially-made hardships - if we can unearth the root causes of these social defects, then we can change them- and make the world a better place. Politicians use power - and power utilized can cause death, inequalities of power.  Judiciary institutions decide quilt/innocence, and condemn people to prison or death - the way in which this is done is not always "just" - the criterion of justice is not universal, so what is unjust to one group is just to another.  Religious institutions are treated especially with skepticism - after all, sociology is one of the alternative explanations of reality that contrasted with churchly explanations in many cases.

but, not all perspectives are as suspicious. some argue for change within existing economic and political frameworks

As always, these are just notes
