How is Sociology Research Conducted?

Source.

A Sociological research is based on 2 principles, Conceptual and Empirical, which is logically accpeted. People usually explain things based on a concept so that others can gradually understand what they are talking about; so does in Sociology, there are several type of norms such as Folkways, Mores, Laws and Values. These norms are trying to explain how things can be allocate to a particular part of concepts where people can clarify them more easily, for instance.

Reasearch based on empirical seems to be necessary as people has the previous knowledge for doing the particular thing; even through active investigation, how people can be affected by media programme and the way of how to interact, etc. It forms a conneciton between itself and and several concepts therefore enabling people to check on the research progress for its logicality.*

*"These twin aspects, the conceptual and the empirical, and the fact that they must be constantly related, make sociology not only a respected academic discipline but also a valuable contribution to other human activities."
