For the purposes of the discussions here we have
defined sociology as the study of social behavior. That study is not
limited to the social behavior of human animals. I have also taken the
position that sociology is a science with quantum aspects.
Sociology shares a challenge with Darwin. One of the definitions of
blasphemy is the secularization of sacred. In those situations where
humans are considered sacred secular study such as Darwin or sociology
could be considered blasphemy. When one considers the Adam and Eve
story, which reports that they were kicked out because they eat of the
tree of knowledge, science is a challenge to faith based communities.
There is a further challenge when that science or knowledge it becomes
clear that some believers will reject science.
Several discussions will be posted on these matters, however, the basic
thread will be the core of sociology which I call the general social
theory and its use in practice.
