Description
Sociology is the study of society, the study of human social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies, and how people interact within these contexts. Sociology, a social science, uses scientific method to systematically and empirically investigate and critically analyze the information and knowledge about human social structure and activity. Sociology focuses on identifying, explaining, and interpreting patterns and processes of human social relations. The subject matter of sociology ranges from the intimate family to the hostile mob; from organized crime to religious cults; from the divisions of race, gender and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture; and from the sociology of work to the sociology of sports.
