Answer to Question 1

Weber believed that sociological research should be value free, that a sociologist's values should not affect his or her research. Weber wanted total objectivity, or value neutrality, to be the hallmark of social research. If values influence research, he said, sociological findings would be biased. Bias in research, however, is subject to some debate. Although sociologists agree that no one should distort data, they acknowledge that the values sociologists hold have a certain degree of influence on the topics they study and manner in which they conduct their research.

Answer to Question 2

B
