Sociology
|
|
|
“Sociology is the scientific study of patterns of human interaction within society and how these patterns emerge, persist, and change.”
We are all individuals, but we are also social beings influenced by our social environments. We grow up in a society and within a family in that society. We grow up as girls or boys, and sooner than our parents would like, become women or men. We are members of a racial or ethnic group, or in many cases, more than one such group. Some of us will have low incomes, others high incomes. Many of us will belong to a religious faith. All of these aspects of our environment, and more, comprise our social background. They all influence how we turn out and ultimately what we think, believe, do and have. Being successful means many things; to the individual as well as the society. Are choices we make in life really “free choices” or does society tend to push us to certain selections?
