Question

Which value dilemma do sociologists face?

Answer 1

The first dilemma is how to make certain that research is objective and not intentionally distorted by the researchers' values. To overcome the possible source of bias, sociologists stress replication. The second dilemma is whether to do research solely to analyze human behavior or with the goal of reforming harmful social arrangements.

Answer 2

We are looking at two dilemmas.

First, they need a way to ensure their research is unbiased and not affected by the values of the researchers.

Second, the sociologists must determine whether they want to research for the sole purpose of analyzing the behavior of humans or with the intention of amending detrimental social arrangements.

Hope this helps.
