Evidence and proof

Hi Lukas,

I also agree that there are many sociological theories that are still relevant in our lives and can describe our current state of being. For example, just in the case of Marx's writings, almost everything he says still applies to our present day world and practically all schools of knowledge has at one point or another referenced Marx. However, at the same time what Marx believed is only one side of things, or seeing the world from one such perspective. As we have learned, he is a materialist which means that he sees the world by production and consumption but that is only one ideology of the world. In other words, people who are let's say idealists may see the world differently including why people act in the way they act. As a result of this, what makes one theorist more correct about the world than the other? While in science, no matter how many times they perform an experience, they will eventually get the same results as long as they hold certain things constant. Although I'm sure that there are still scientific theories that are up for debate, but relatively its findings (regarding their laws) are less disputed between scientists such as the laws of gravity.
