The scientific sociology studies analyzes the society from theoretical perspectives.
Interpretive sociology focuses on the importance of meaning and action when studying social trends and problems. According the interpretive sociology the reality is constructed by people themselves in their daily lives.
The critical sociology is oriented toward critiquing and changing society.
