Berber was a sociologist that argued that sociology can be dangerous. He believed it could be dangerous because a sociologist wants to understand the unknown and other things that most people don't bother to think about because it might be uncomfortable. It is also possible that a sociologist gets so wrapped up in their own studies and investigations that they fall away from reality. They might desire to learn things that are impossible to understand. With all of this in mind, a sociologist could be viewed as dangerous because they are trying to understand people and society and could make people feel uncomfortable as there actions are diseccted.
