In Sociology, Anthony Giddens, a major contributor to the sociology field came up with a theory where an everyday concept can be analyzed two ways. This theory is double hermeneutic. I dealing with double hermeneutic, a concept such as social class can be looked at from a different viewpoint. Social scientist analyze a concept and look at it from a larger perspective and find ways to correct social concepts, there is always a two way relationship with a social concept. Double hermeneutic is a good tool to use because it combines two approaches to a certain view, or idea allowing one to see the concept from all different perspectives.

Characteristics
Double hermenuetic comes from Anthony Giddens hermenuetic theory which entails comprehending and interpreting the meaning of a concept and appreciating that concept from somebody else’s point of view. Double hermenuetic takes the two different approaches and analyzes the two from each perspective.
