Answer to Question 1

(Refer to the subsection Verstehen and Social Facts, which includes Weber and Verstehen, Durkheim and Social Facts, and How Social Facts and Verstehen Fit Together.) The subjective meaning of Verstehen as it was intended by Weber involves understanding or grasping by insight, based on someone who has been there. The objective meaning of social facts as intended by Durkheim involves long-term and consistent patterns of behavior that characterized a social group. The two concepts go hand in hand. Sociologists need both the cold facts as well as the understanding of human nature, emotion, and behavior as well as the influence of groups.

Answer to Question 2

A
