Main Article Content
Abstract
The current article is a result of analysis of works of one of the most basic sociologists works, such as Weber, Marx and Durkheim, and applying these analyses to the realm of political background of different countries. To get a better view of the situation from different points of view, also included different sociologists and their theories, but most of the focus is on the three earlier mentioned scientists. Methods include discourse and content analysis for better qualitative and quantitative research results. Content analysis is a part of quantitative research where the number of key words, terminology and context of use will be calculated. Discourse analysis will support a part of qualitative research, including context, intonation, the so-called 'tone' of the text, to define the topic in more depth. After the research, using the above-mentioned methods, the results will be discussed and put together into the whole picture to better analyse the complete view of the situation and the co-dependence of the two main part of the society: politics and sociological tendencies, to see how each of their development made an influence on each other.
