Some would argue that it can be "value free" if it subjected to applied research by scientific method.
However, as sociology is based on values held by individuals and reified societies in general, it is of necessity subjective at best.

No. All sociologists are biased by the values of family and society where they grew up. Even those who struggle to be value free still carry the bias of "producing science", pure science, etc. which is in itself a defender of the status quo against change - therefore they turn conservative.

i imagine that sociology should be value loose in a sense. The analyze should be depending entirely on information. in basic terms because the researcher feels one way does not propose that that's the actuality or actuality. The habit of analyze should be depending on the code of ethics with the intention to guard the persons in touch and the information amassed, as well as to guard the researchers themselves.

No. All ideological concepts are based on values.
