This article introduces some of the methods used by sociologists to study in certain fields, such as the title. Empiricalism is important in the scientific way, so we need evidence that can be verified. In the verification process, various processes such as characterization, hypothesis development, prediction, and testing are required. In addition, it is necessary to know precisely the causal relationship and the difference of correlation in the research process. And above all, ethics in sociological studies should always be considered as a priority. In addition, it describes what to consider or influence when conducting sociological research

2.New/interesting point

 

I knew that there were several sociological methods, but I did not know it as detailed in this article. In the text, I personally informed the difference between causality and correlation through examples, and it was interesting that this difference is important when studying sociology.

3.Discussion point

 I think sociologists need a lot of methods like researching, questioning and experimenting in researching social phenomena and certain fields. So where does all the costs in this process come from?
Of course, it is supported by public institutions such as national or national universities. However, I am wondering how the limitations will be solved if scholars do not receive support.
