Sociology

Sociology is the systematic study of society, social relationships, and social institutions. It examines how individuals interact with one another and how societal structures, cultural norms, and historical contexts influence behavior and social dynamics. Sociologists explore various aspects of human life, including family, education, religion, social class, crime, and social change, using both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The discipline aims to understand the patterns and complexities of social life, and to identify the underlying principles that govern social interactions and societal development. By analyzing societal issues and trends, sociology seeks to provide insights that can inform public policy, social reform, and individual understanding of social phenomena.
