What is science?

Science
Defining science is an important issue because it is a part of Social Science. Science can be defined as a structured knowledge which is gathered through systematic observation and a systematic approach. Knowledge is constructed by a proper investigation and this proper way of investigation can be regarded as science. It is important in every sphere of life. In culture, sociology, social science or we better say in every field of our life, science is playing a crucial role. Science deals with the factual issues not the imaginary thing and this is one of the characteristics of science. It can be verified in any place of the world. One scientific method got approved in one place; it doesn’t mean that that method cannot be verified in other place. So science is universal. Science also deals with the cause-effect relationship where causes and effects are analyzed scientifically. At the end of this discussion we can conclude that sociologist should not neglect science rather consider making social change scientifically.
