applied sociologists
want to gain knowledge and understanding of society and soc problems to use it to better or change situations

use soc skills and knowledge to evaluate, detrmine, and help soc problems
they want a better situation and want what's learned through research to be helpful and useful to reform society
theoretical sociologists
analyze and describe social situations, soc problems, and society for the purpose of knowledge---NOT for it to be used specifically even if use does come from their research findings
simply want to document objectively what is there for the sole pupose of describing and understanding a place, situation, or social setting

not to change anything---just to know
research has no goal beyond understanding social life and testing social theories
Diff in what applied and theoretical soc choose to study
Theoretical soc can study virually anything without limits

applied soc will only study something that is deemed problematic or in need of fixing--more limited in what they will study
