Do you regard Sociology as an important science and field? Its offered in University, and even was mandatory when I was pursuing Physics.  It does offer very decent insights into society and has produced very brilliant thinkers; Marx, Durkheim, Weber, etc... My Physics path is no longer viable, so I'm switching majors to my other passion. But I'm insecure because a lot of people dismiss Sociology as not a real science.  I remember one time, Ben Shapiro said that Sociology was "a completely made up field with some interesting insights". No one dares to call Physics a completely made up field, because Physics is just true and part of reality. Its an objective fact that objects fall at the speed of gravity at 9.8 m/s squared, or at least they on the planet Earth. Here, at the 0:18 minute mark, Ben says that Sociology is not a "particularly expert field". Here's Feynman, call social science a pseudoscience. So, questions: Is sociology a legit field Why is it dismissed as not real?
