One of the most important and prioritized elements that ensure the continuity of a branch of science is the determination of its central concepts and ensuring its natural continuity. In particular, the studies to be carried out within the framework of social sciences give clues about the scientificization processes of the relevant branch of science, as the concepts corresponding to the reasonable meanings in the field of that science are attributed to the term/term, which means that they are a name for a meaning in the language.
Today, the dominant concept in social sciences and the terminological expressions accordingly are determined on the axis of the dominance of Eurocentric definitions, and this concept-definition relationship ensures the continuation of Eurocentric interpretations. In this way, definitions made with concepts produced contrary to the core values and structure of society prevent authentic productions in social sciences. The development of a correct social science, which takes into account the structure and culture of the Islamic society, and accordingly providing a correct scientific thought ground, first of all necessitates a conceptual and theoretical framework that can be followed in terms of local and origins.

No matter which branch of sociology you want to specialize in, it is necessary to know sociological theories. As in every science, field studies in sociology can only be carried out by establishing a correct theoretical framework. For this, the information to be learned from the sociological theories course is extremely important.

Scientific theory is a set of propositions to explain the formation of the universe. Scientific sociological theory, on the other hand, is a set of propositions to explain how the universe of social action, interaction and organization works. Our view of the world is based on our theoretical perspective. It is possible to realize the complexity and ambiguity of the ordinary aspects of the social world, by looking at the routines of daily life again with sociological theories. While doing sociology, sociologists focus on certain aspects of events, approach their subjects with some acceptance, give weight to some research methods and seek answers to some specific questions. This theoretical view brings about the emergence of an explanatory and systematic result. Sociological theories are not formal and empty patterns, but on the contrary, modernity, family, city, consumption, disability, risk, old age, epidemic diseases such as Covid-19, refugees, occupations, etc. It is directly related to various areas of daily life. How we see, understand and explain these areas of daily life, as well as how we act in them, is closely related to what shape it takes.
