    (1) A common stereotype of sociologist would have to be that they generalize people into categories. After reading “Is Sociology nothing more than Stereotypes‚” I came to the conclusion that this title is invalid for sociologist. It is true that sociologist generalizes people‚ but on three key conditions which are they do not apply any generalization to a catgory‚ use avaliable facts to square generalizations and to be fair-minded‚ to obtain the truth.
