2. interesting items learend

Because I thought sociology could change the world better, I was fascinated by sociology and chosen information sociology department. And i find that sociology is used to change the world. At part 1 "What is sociology", "Sometimes with the goal of applying such knowledge to the pursuit of government policies designed to benefit the general social welfare" exist. So i am happy to find it.

3) discussion angle

In part 1 "What is sociology", it is existed that what distinguishes the sociologist from non-scientific researchers is that "[the] sociologist tries to see what is there. He may have hopes or fears concerning what he may find. But he will try to see, regardless of his hopes or fears. It is thus an act of pure perception..." But, i don't think so. What Peter Berger said is not that what distinguishes the sociologist from non-scientific researchers, but that distinguishes scientific researchers from  non-scientific researchers. Scientific researchers have to see what is there. Even thought he may have hopes or fears concerning what he may find, he will try to see, regardless of his hopes or fears.
I wonder what other people's opinion is.
