The comparative method is a systematic approach used in sociological research to study social phenomena by comparing two or more societies, social groups, institutions, or historical periods. Its main purpose is to identify similarities and differences in social structures, processes, and patterns, and to understand how social factors operate under varying conditions. By placing cases side by side, the sociologist is able to move beyond the study of a single society and develop broader generalizations about social life.
