Sociologists cannot identify "laws of society" that allow us to precisely predict the behavior of an individual because human behavior may be patterned, but it is also spontaneous. sociology is still very young. no sociologist ever tried to discover such laws. no sociologist would wish to predict human behavior.

I would assume that this is a multiple choices question, thus the answer would be letter the first statement after the claim. "because human behavior may be patterned, but it is also spontaneous". Creating a central dogma in sociology would be like creating a central dogma of explaining humanity. As there are always the spontaneous nature of humanity, making prediction out of patterned behavior could be flawed.
