Sociology

Sociology is the scientific study of society, social relationships, and social institutions. It examines how individuals and groups interact, the structures of societies, cultural norms and values, and the various factors that influence social behavior. Sociologists investigate social phenomena through various methods, including qualitative and quantitative research, to understand patterns of social behavior, social changes, and the complexities of social life. The discipline encompasses a range of topics, including family dynamics, education, crime, religion, and race, among others. Sociology seeks to analyze the ways social forces shape human experiences and the implications of these dynamics for individuals and communities.
