SIMILARITIES BETWEEN SOCIOLOGY AND HISTORY

Sociology is the study of society while history seeks to establish the squence in which events occurs in the past .Like historian sociologist are concerns with the relationship between events occuring more or less at the same time .In this context,history suplies the material for sociologu as well as sociology gives the social background for the study of historrry.It is further said that history would be meaningless without explaining sociallly significiant events.

Sociologist are most intrested in teh contemporary events and recent past which is also related with history.Thus, their mitual dependance upon eachother has lead G.E Howard to remarks that"history is the past of sociology and sociology is the present history."
