Aristotle studied planetary motion using mathematical method and studied poetry using the same way. also Thomas Hobbes argued that deductive reasoning is made through axioms created a scientific framework. as these tendency is intensified, some researchers(Sigmund Freud in Austria and William James in the United States ) studied human relationships using scientific method. this is the foundation of social science.
Study method of social science is also scientific. the scientific method is 4 stage. the first stage of method is 'Characterization'. Characterization means determining operation definition about a concept of something to study. stage 2 is 'Hypothesis Development'. Hypothesis Development means setting the causal relationship between independent variable and subordination variable. stage 3 is 'Prediction'. Prediction means checking whether hypothesis is right or not. the last thing is 'Experiment'. Experiment means doing Experiment. if the conclusion is discord with a hypothesis, then try again 4 steps.
Read this article, l can understand that why people study about social or human relationship through scientific method. interesting thing is equation about human behavior. that's interesting, because people's behavior is very complex and hard to find out why but researchers think that they can define people's complex behavior by using equations. and I wonder how Aristotle study poetry using scientific method
In your statement that the contents of the sociologist is not enough, my writing is cool seems to be shown in more detail. Part you thought interesting overview after're like me. It seems to be a great statement.
ReplyDeleteYou summarized the script different method compare with me. And I think it's interesting that scholars make theory to predict people's behavior. I wonder other scholars contributed to sociology's development.
