Sociology

Sociology is the systematic study of society, social institutions, and social relationships. It explores how individuals interact with one another and how social structures, such as culture, norms, values, and organizations, influence human behavior. Sociologists analyze various aspects of human life, including class, race, gender, and family dynamics, to understand the complexities of social phenomena. The discipline employs both qualitative and quantitative research methods to gather and interpret data, aiming to uncover patterns of social behavior and the forces that shape human experiences. Sociology contributes to our understanding of societal issues, social change, and the functioning of communities, making it a crucial field for addressing contemporary social challenges.
