The question presented was "Why do sociologist tend to work under less ideal conditions?"My feelings on this question is because how else would anything interesting get answered to the fullest. If one wanted to know why rapists behave the way they do they would not ask a non rapist or they would not survery the public, because what would the public know? A non rapist would not fully know why a rapist behaves the way they do, they may in a sense think they know why they behave like that. But the truth is they have no clue because they do not live inside the head of said rapist. That is why sociologist volunteer to get in deep and dirty because they are interested in the topic and want truthful results. Take "Super Size Me" as an example. Morgan Spurlock wanted to know the truthfull effects mcdonalds has on the human body and obesity results. He went in less ideal conditions and ate only McDonalds for thirty days and recorded how he felt each day and measured his weight. People enter the sociology field because they have a curiosity or interest in certain questions or topics that need answering. If one wanted to work in ideal conditions they would not enter the sociology field. Someone needs to get the rightful truth and answers. We cannot be naive and think we know it all when we don't.
