1MASTER OF PLANNING: REFLECTION
Masters of Planning is a separate branch of study of Sociology which is combined by
both theoretical as well as pragmatic approaches to cover and understand the significance of
urbanization, policies, theories, practices and planning laws (Illeris, 2014). It is a
multidisciplinary subject which also deals with training and education regarding positioning

quantitative methods. However, it has to be remembered that society is not static. Society is
fluid. It changes from time to time according to the dynamics of science and psychology. Culture

as well as objectivity is difficult to perform and achieve. Sociological disciplines and sub-
disciplines are based on certain rules, theories and practical bases but sociology has not
performed well in the case of objectivity (Illeris, 2014). Every person or individual in a society is
different. An amalgamation of collective consciousness is called a society. A society is the
