Do you have to be a relativist to be a good sociologist?

In regard to ethics and morality, I don't see what relativism has to do with sociology seeing as how sociology is a study of societies whereby one would be describing societal dynamics. It may come into play if you were making value judgments, but then I don't think that would be something relevant to sociology.

i don't think I'd HAVE to be.. but it could be different depending upon the individual
