meaning of critical sociology
Critical Sociology Positivist and interpretivist sociology focus on answering questions so that we can understand the way that society works. These views see the purpose of sociology as describing or understanding society. But, what if we want to move beyond just description? What if we want to solve problems? Critical sociology is a branch of sociology that focuses on studying society in order to change it for the better. Remember our question about voting: we've discovered that poor and young people are not voting.
