SOCIOLOGY IN TROUBLESOME TIMES
SOCIOLOGY IN TROUBLESOME TIMES

Summary/Abstract: It can be freely said that there are only a few disciplines that have escaped so long the conceptual definition and the subject framework that would be generally accepted. The multiplicity of contents of sociology has led to a state in which almost every textbook or book, of different character distinctiveness, has a diverse determining framework of its subject. In all these periods and sociology definition quests, a tedious seeking process of sociology for its own scientific identity has evolved. Nowadays, many analyses of state and perspective of sociology show visible signs of distrust, insecurity, as well as underachievement. This situation is due to the fact that many, outside this discipline, do not understand sociology seriously and do not attribute a merited significance to it. This problem becomes even more dramatic when one takes into account the fact that these doubts have snuck into the order of sociologists themselves. Ever growing disbelief in itself harms sociology much more than the disbelief of those who are not in this profession.
