Sociology

Sociology is the study of society, social institutions, and social relationships. It examines how individuals and groups interact, the structures and processes that shape societies, and the social forces that influence behavior, culture, and identity. Sociologists explore topics such as social inequality, race and ethnicity, family dynamics, education, religion, and deviance. The field seeks to understand how societal norms, values, and institutions affect people's lives and how social change occurs. By analyzing social patterns and trends, sociology provides insights into the functioning of societies and helps address social issues, contributing to the development of public policies and programs that improve social welfare.
