Why sociology is neutral?

Answer 1

Value neutrality, as described by Max Weber, is the duty of sociologists to identify and acknowledge their own values and overcome their personal biases when conducting sociological research.

In order to be value-neutral, sociologists must be aware of their own moral judgments and values, and avoid incorporating them into their research, their conclusions, and their teaching.

Many sociologists believe it is impossible to set aside personal values and retain complete objectivity. They caution readers, rather, to understand that sociological studies may, by necessity, contain a certain amount of value bias.

Answer 2

Sociology strives to be objective and impartial in its study of society, aiming to understand social phenomena without imposing value judgments or personal biases. By maintaining neutrality, sociologists can observe and analyze social structures and processes more accurately and provide a broader understanding of human society.
