		Some comparative analysis is possible within a single society, if "facts are widely distributed" and statistical information is "extensive and varied." As an example Durkheim noted the possibility of arriving at "genuine laws" by examining the differences in suicide rates over time according to provinces, classes, age, sex, and the like.
		Third, "[for] the rest, there remains only the possibility of comparing the largest possible number of historical or contemporary processes which, while otherwise similar, differ in the one decisive point of their relation to the particular motive or fact the role of which is being investigated".

	Comparative Sociology
		Comparative sociology encompasses a broad range of practices that focus on the juxtaposition of cases or aspects of cases to one another, and the use of either inductive or deductive logic in relation to those juxtapositions, either to test theoretically derived hypotheses or to produce bounded generalizations and "rules of experience."
		Researchers wishing to use a comparative practice need to address this issue in their specific research contexts before pursuing analysis.
		Although comparative sociology in its classic phase was largely a qualitative enterprise, the work of Charles Ragin and related approaches provide important new bases for formalizing and developing the complexity of comparative analyses, while retaining some of the richness of their qualitative basis.

	Surveys in Context - Design Issues - Comparative Sociology
		If you accept, as you need not, the possibility of attributions of causality, of whatever kind, the refinement and specification of claims and terms makes it clearer what is being claimed, and its argumentative weight.
		So to conduct surveys is a particular refinement of a particular kind of approach to the study of the social — a very natural choice, and one which occurs outside sociology as well.
		It is positivistic hubris that confines effective comparison to materials as well specified as this: other approaches are equally, if differently, comparative.
