The suppression of sociology in Europe by adherents of several conflicting ideologies, indicates that sociology is practically important precisely because it is an objective science. The two world wars made social thinkers realize the growing interdependence between cultures manifested in the causal and functional relationships between diverse social groups. A study of such groups all over the world thus becomes the main function of sociology. This function requires changes in methods. Since social groups are cultural systems, the naturalistic approach to social phenomena must be eliminated. Since they are dynamic systems and their relations continually change, the antithesis between statics and dynamics must be solved
