Sociology

Sociology is the systematic study of society, social institutions, and social relationships. It explores how individuals and groups interact, the structures and functions of various social systems, and the patterns of behavior influenced by culture, class, ethnicity, and other social factors. Sociologists analyze social phenomena, such as norms, values, socialization, deviance, and stratification, to understand the dynamics of social life and the impact of societal changes. The discipline employs various research methods, including qualitative and quantitative approaches, to investigate social issues and contribute to the understanding of human behavior within a social context.
