It is not possible to interpret social reality objectively,but subjectively.because unlike scientist who can carry experiments inside Laboratories on a particular object a social scientist is unable to conduct experiments inside for walls also the conclusion of social scientist are based on their own understandings and interpretation of reality subjectively.

John R. Searle in The Construction of Social Reality makes a distinction between "institutional facts" and "brute facts." The brute facts of the physical universe such as the distance between the earth and sun or the speed of light exist independent even of human existence.
Institutional facts are agreed on by convention. Thus whether, for example, someone is the citizen of a country or whether a couple is considered as married under the laws of a particular country is an institutional fact, dependent on a legal context.
Nevertheless, there is an objective component to many such facts. Either a couple is or is not married under a certain legal system, independent of whether, for example, they deeply love each other or feel a great deal of emotional closeness over an extended period. Similarly, someone born and raised in a country, who may emotionally be quite patriotic and assimilated to a country's culture may not be a legal citizen.
Many social reform movements such as ones concerning gay marriage or DACA focus on this disconnect between an emotional truth and an objective one concerning institutional facts.
