Question

suppose you are a sociologist studying alleged police brutality.construct two arguments,one proposing that you ought to be as objective as possible in your work and the other suggesting that, while striving for accuracy you should take a stand against any injustices which your research may uncover

Answer 1

1.

objectively I find that the corrupt police department not only don't report the faulty officers further down the chain of command but reward them... public needs to know so justice can be delivered

2.

it's been found that the police department is deeply involved in corruption and brutality on the streets... if I report this to the media, the resulting chaos will do more damage and perpetuate and justify brutality than has already been done

Answer 2

Sociologist studying alleged police brutality. ARGUMENTS

1. As a Sociologist I can't ignore the context where society takes part. The Science of sociology it is related to the diverse types of interactions and human behavior, and how it can change the curse of publics policies and agreements between citizens . Culture, and social movements are part of the sources in which I have to study that alleged brutality committed by police, however as it is a science I CAN NOT leave facts apart. Empirical investigation and critical analysis are the two more important milestones of the study. And that's how I know that my investigation will be solid: with facts and with the critical analysis of them.

2.Sociology its a also a tool that can take us to understand the cause and consequences of certain social movements. In the process of researching any certain issue we can face so many injustices, Injustices that we MUST stand against. As Sociology said, the social order and the estructure of itself is constantly evolving. In that evolution unfortunately history has given enough proves that there is always a certain group of people that is forgiven or take apart. However we definitely are citizens that with our knowledge and can research and explain the issues on society and certainly find a solution and STAND AGAINST injustice, but always from an objective and scientific approach.
