Реферат: The Comparative Method Essay Research Paper Sociologists

dereifying helps educate and eliminate ignorance when it comes to social

‘truths’. However, there is a danger to exposing social constructs. It

could lead to one taking on the perceptive of a radical relativist (all

truths are correct) or a nihilistic view (the belief that all truths are

relative and therefore there are no truths). Obviously this is a very

negative, and possibly a destructive, way of thinking.

As you can see, the comparative method is an essential part of a

sociologists practice. Without it there would be a lot of confusion and

misunderstanding between people and societies. Hopefully I have shown by

example the various forms of the comparative method and how each of them

applies to society and how they attempt to expose falsities.
