Not at all. "Social studies" AKA Social Sciences are divided into, say, two ethical perspectives. In one sides is Marx and all the marxist school. This people believes that the social scientist has to have the desire of changing society, and he should act upon it. In the other side is pretty much everyone else (highly simplifying here), mostly people that believes that actual science has to be separated of any activism, and that achieving the highest degree of neutralism and detachment is desirable. While is not hard to detach science from activism, it is hard to not comment on what the actual desirable society would be, if you are involved in the field. IIRC you have examples of this in functionalism and simbolic interactionism schools, that had both descriptive and inferential studies, but didn't mix activism on it, as far as I can tell.
