    Sociological Perspective

    It is impossible to view society in an objective lenses without separating yourself from your own perspective. Your values, ideals, norms, etc... will add judgement and prejudice.


    When studying sociology, it is important to separate your own perspective. Hence, you will be viewing a situation from a sociological perspective.


    This will allow you to acknowledge other ways of social reality

    Ethics of Research

    Sociologists, whenever using human participants, must be aware of privacy of participants as well as telling them what is going on, as deceiving can give false results.


    However, some experiments require deception so participants must at least know any risks and consent to experimentation. This is called informed consent.
