Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A sociological theory should present a structured argument by linking together a series of ideas or concepts, which will help provide an explanation or understanding of a social phenomenon. It should not just elaborate upon unverified guesses or hunches. It may lead to a conclusion that has predictive or explanatory value, but it does not necessarily need to disprove or discredit an earlier theory.
