There are so many things that makes sociology the coolest thing:
1. Its only us that studies Marx as Marx and not as a theorists of economy, polity or change but as a thinker…as a critic to dominant ideology…someone who gave us alternatives and methods to achieve these…someone’s who ideas are original, polemical and timeless
2. we study every subject…hahaha
3. only we accept that there are maybe no truths or multiple subjective interpretations…nobody is right or wrong, good or bad…no ideology is dominant, no idea is representative….no theory explains it all….
4. We problemitize the individual in society and the society’s influence on the individual…
5. Only we know that knowledge is constructed and perhaps for the benefit of a particular group and that too at different time periods. Knowledge is systematic, incomplete and hierarchical. There are multiple ways of knowing.
