Sociology

Sociology is the systematic study of society, social institutions, and social relationships. It examines how individuals interact with one another within various contexts, such as families, communities, organizations, and broader societal structures. Sociologists analyze social behaviors, cultural norms, collective patterns, and social changes, employing various research methods to understand the complexities of human interactions and societal dynamics. The field explores concepts such as socialization, identity, power, inequality, and group behavior, aiming to uncover the underlying social forces that shape individual experiences and societal trends. Sociology seeks to provide insights into the functioning of societies, social cohesion, conflict, and the influence of social factors on human behavior.
