Defining a Social Subject...

Have you ever wondered what sociologists do in their spare time? Well, they ponder things. Of what things they ponder, I'm not quite sure, but I think I know just the blogger to contact. Daniel Little, in his blog Understanding Society, analyzes the scientific process through which sociologists go through when collecting data. He says that, "Selectivity applies to the singling out of an area of social phenomena for study.  But it also applies to a singling out of the specific aspects of this area that the researcher will examine.  And this, in turn, raises the possibility of there being indefinitely many different "scientific studies of X". In stating this, the author is showing us the difficult process through which sociologists go through. Though daunting prima facie, this level of science might intrigue those wishing to better understand human behavior--maybe even your own behavior.
