Unit-14: Contribution in Sociological Method-Sociology as a Science-the Concept of Social Facts

etc. all things a person accepted from society and family and slowly-slowly these all becomes the notes
part of their life , and mixed in their habits and behaviour these all are also transmitted to new
generation by this social facts are transmitted from generation to generation.
5. social facts are learned : Social fact is the growth of society so teach the method of socialization,
these all we can not get by parents like blackness, whiteness, nose, eyes, ears, structure of
hairs, etc. Education is a powerful source of socialization, a person teaches of sociological
fact by the medium of formal and informal education. The people of family teach this to
the human that how he should greetings and how should be wear cloth then educational
institute provide knowledge to ours of laws, believes etc. Sociological facts present in society
in the form of collective consciousness and collective representation which person teach. To
learn the behaviour which accepted by the members of any society or group, comes in the
category of sociological facts.
6. social facts are super individual: The presentation is possible by the action of human in
sociological facts but its existence is free from personal manifestations. Moral rule, religious
and political belief, prevalent believes in different institutions etc., are the fact of using by
any person but any personal action can not generate this fully. The generation of sociological
fact is by collective consciousness, so these are not only for one person but for whole society
Durkheim did this social currents time to time these perception aspired of a special vogue of
human. Social fact is a free power which manifest in personal behaviour. This power is the
gift of society. Practices, customers etc., which is the sociological facts not the special gift of
any human but the growth of whole society. Its construction, developed scrape, amendment
and change not by any special person but done by society or group. In this form sociological
fact is super-individual; the power of person and capability is beyond from society.
7. exteriority: This is the specialty of sociological fact that sociologist out from authority field,
personal consciousness, and personal ideas of scientist. These are not affected by the ideas
and action of human because its existence is free from human. The growth of sociological
facts is from collective consciousness, so these are different and separate from personal fact.
Like this water make by hydrogen and oxygen but water is neither hydrogen nor oxygen,
water exist separately and freely by these two. The production of sociological facts exist
with the result of collection and mutual interaction of members, but them existence are
free from personal facts. Like the generation of ideas in the heart of human is because of the
mutual interaction of cells like this collective consciousness and collective ideas take birth
because of the interaction of different people but his existence is out and separate from the
consciousness of any special person. These are not the personal property of any human. The
method of walking, thinking, experience, is involved already in society. Religious ideas and
belief practices, rules, morality, and collective consciousness are the growth, so the power and
authority of human is beyond from these. So these are count in the category of sociological
facts. On sociological facts are not affected by the personal ideas of scientists so they are free
from the control of human.
8. constraints: It is the specialty of sociological fact that its compliance is forceful for human.
Because its growth is not from any personal consciousness but these are the result of collective
consciousness, so forceful for human. These forces are for specific type of behaviours on
human because of being the external thing from human. There are power of society and
group to behind the sociological fact. Human conduct such type because of the affect and
force of this power like society want. The sociological force and power are great from the
person and external thing of any human, so human head twisted in front of them; follow the
rule and orders of society. To find out the power of society not possible in normal life and
normal condition but it is possible when we revolts them, ignored them and break them.
Then present the anger of society and they arrange the punishment is not the result of revolt
of sociological facts.
