... at conclusions. Some contributors to sociology dismiss the idea of it being a science because they believed that it was almost impossible to use the same methods in collecting data for chemistry, biology and other scientific research, in the same way, for sociology. Science is seen as an attempt to create truth and understanding from information that can be proved (Haralambos & Holborn ... ...
