Sociologist research into how society has evolved and still evolving daily and which factors alter it most. For example, by using data such as exam results they would discover whether that area have become smarter or lost intelligence over the last ten years, if so they would then investigate further to see what factors have caused results to increase/decrease.

Karl Heinrich Marx
Karl was a German philosopher, economist, sociologist, historian, journalist and revolutionary socialist who was born on the 5th of May 1818 and died 14th March 1883. His ideas played a significant role in the development of social science. Various books of his were published, the most known one being ‘The Communist Manifesto’ (1848).

After he finished studying, he began writing in a newspaper and began to figure out his thoughts of dialectical materialism (which proposes that every economic order grows to a state of maximum efficiency). When he moved to Paris in 1843, Karl was exiled to Brussels , he became a leading figure of the Communist League, before moving back to
