Question

Two schools of thought on the scope of Sociology:

Answer 1

Answer:Scope means area of study or field of inquiry or the subject matter. Each and every science has its own field of study or field of enquiry, so also sociology.

Some Sociologists opines sociology studies everything and anything under the Sun. Sociologist V.F. Calberton writes, “Since Sociology is so elastic a science, it is difficult to determine just where its boundaries begin and end, where sociology becomes social psychology and where social psychology becomes sociology or where economic theory becomes sociological doctrine or biological theory becomes sociological theory, something which is impossible to decide.
