Sociological investigation begins with two requirements: (1) apply the sociological perspective, and (2)

The second requirement is to be curious and ready to ask questions about the world around you.

Science is a logical system that bases knowledge on direct, systematic observation. Scientific sociology is the study of society based on systematic observation of social behavior. When sociologists apply the sociological perspective and begin to ask questions, no topic is off limits. Every aspect of human behaviour is a source of possible investigation. Sociologists question the world that humans have created and live in. They notice patterns of behaviour as people move through that world.
