Sociology
Society cannot be studied in the same way as the natural world because:
human behaviour is meaningful, and varies between individuals and cultures
it is difficult for sociologists to gain access to a research laboratory
sociologists are not rational or critical enough in their approach
we cannot collect empirical data about social life
human behaviour is meaningful, and varies between individuals and cultures
The idealized view of science is often criticised as not being applicable to the social world, where we cannot study one variable in isolation from others. Furthermore, the subject matter of sociology is people, who do not behave in regular, predictable ways. Interpretivists, particularly, argue that human behaviour is meaningful and that we cannot explain it in terms of universal laws; we can only study the meanings people give to their activities within their own cultures. 15-16
