Before starting a discussion on the analysis of the article “What makes sociology a discipline different” from other sciences we should have some knowledge about sociology. In the words of modern thinkers of sociology, namely Karl Marx, Max Weber and Emile Durkheim “Social facts should be the object of study of social life and can provide explanations for human thought and behavior (p19)”. What we deduce from this definition is that man was born as a social animal. Man cannot live alone. He prefers to live in groups and his behavior i.e. actions and deeds are well governed and regulated by certain rules and laws of conduct which include moral ethics and civic standards. His standard of living is said to be within the norms and standards of society if he strictly adheres to the laws and regulations prescribed by the government and the society in which he lives. On the contrary, if he does not follow these rules, the company penalizes him for his bad conduct. From his birth as a child to his death as a responsible citizen, society not only honors him with so many privileges but also empowers him in so many ways through proper guidance at every stage of his life. The system of society is predetermined and is well governed by its laws which have been prevalent through the legacy of its ancestors and ancestors.

In conclusion, «a social fact is any way of acting, fixed or not, capable of exercising external constraints on the individual or which is general on the whole of a given society while having its own existence independent of its individual manifestations (p26) ” from which the peculiarities of sociology derive. This means that the nature of the action is not stable but has control over the person who takes it, it presents generalized conclusions in the form of laws that are imposed on the society which functions independently to build and develop a good society.
