Answer to Question 1

Karl Marx was a strong champion of the cause of the poor and the downtrodden, and he wanted to use science to improve their plight. He argued that social scientists should bring strong moral commitments to their work and use science to change inequitable or immoral social conditions.

Answer to Question 2

Theories help to organize the data from research into a meaningful whole. The key role of theories is to tell people why something occurred. Some sociological theories focus on specific social problems, such as the causes of juvenile delinquency or the explanations for divorce, while some other theories offer broader explanations of social reality.
