Sociology

Sociology is the scientific study of society, social relationships, and social institutions. It seeks to understand how individual behaviors and societal structures are influenced by culture, social interactions, and various social dynamics. Sociologists examine various aspects of human life, including family, education, religion, race, class, and gender, to uncover patterns and trends that shape social experiences and outcomes. By using qualitative and quantitative research methods, sociology aims to analyze how societies function and how they change over time, providing insight into social issues and challenges. The discipline encompasses various subfields, such as criminology, demography, and medical sociology, reflecting its broad scope and interdisciplinary nature.
