Who are Sociologist ? How do they help in reconstructing the past ?...

Sociologists are people who study humans's social lives, activities, interactions, processes and organisations within the context of larger social, political, economic forces. They examine how social influences affect different individuals and groups, and the ways organisations and institutions affect people's lives. 
Sociologists help to understand the interaction between economic, political and social forces in the past to correct them for the future.

Sociology is the study of social life and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. In the words of C. Wright Mills, sociology looks for the "public issues" that underlie "private troubles." Sociology differs from popular notions of human behavior in that it uses systematic, scientific methods of investigation and questions many of the common sense and taken-for-granted views of our social world. Sociological thinking involves taking a closer look at our social world and recognizing that most often things are not necessarily what they seem. A sociologist understands unemployment, for example, not as the problem of one person who can't find a job, but as the interaction of economic, political, and social forces that determine the number of jobs and who has access to them.
