Reading Scheff's vision of sociology
Article Abstract:
The four categories of sociology which are theory,qualitative and quantitative methods and cultural studies have strengths and weaknesses. Each of these divisions of sociology fails to adequately connect theory with research in a reliable and valid manner. The model used by Scheff overcomes these flaws through the combination of comparative and intensive single case studies using ladder metaphor.
