Sociology
Durkheim defined social facts as:
ways of acting, thinking, and feeling that are collective and social in origin
the way scientists construct knowledge in a social context
data collected about social phenomena that are proven to be correct
ideas and theories that have no basis in the external, physical world
ways of acting, thinking, and feeling that are collective and social in origin
Durkheim believed that society had a reality , or ‘above all’: it was a greater force existing beyond individuals and controlled their actions. This meant that even apparently private, personal actions like suicide could be seen as governed by social forces, and that sociologists could looks for patterns in behaviour, which he called ‘social facts’. He defined this term as collective ways of acting, thinking, or feeling, which are characterized by externality and constraint. 33-34
