Sociology has been defined s the scientific study of human interaction
             and, as such, is accepted as a scientific activity (Leming 1997). Social
             science aims at discovering and explaining observed events of and in nature
             by means of a framework that can be tested. The goal of sociology is,
             therefore, to produce a body of knowledge that will provide a body of
             knowledge that will provide not only an understanding of the causal
             processes influencing human behavior but also enable sociologists to
             predict social behaviors (Leming). As a science, it pursues observable and
             provable regularities and explains these regularities by means of a set of
             observable and provable propositions or statements of relationship
             (Leming). The very effectiveness or success of sociology lies precisely in
             the explanatory and predictive power of this body of knowledge derived from
             The basic components or elements of a theory are a conceptual scheme, a
             set of propositions that states the relationships between variables, and a
             context for verification (Leming). The conceptual scheme consists of ideas
             that possess abstract properties not yet immediately verifiable by direct
             sensory observation. It also has a system of interrelated statements of
             relationships between variables, which seam the parts of the concept
             together. The conceptual scheme and the statements of relationships are
             joined together and organized under a paradigm (Leming).
             A paradigm is the basic image of a particular subject matter within a
             science and serves as context for the verification (Leming 1997). It
             defines what should be studied and asked, how the questions should be posed
             and the rules to observe in interpreting the answers that will be obtained.
             It is the broadest unit of consensus within a science, which subsumes,
             defines and inter-relates the examples and/or variables, theories, methods,
             and instruments within it (Leming)...
