Sociology is a scientific study. Sociologists study society and social action by examining the groups and social institutions people form, as well as various social, religious, political, and business organizations. They also study the social interactions of people and groups, trace the origin and growth of social processes, and analyze the influence of group activities on individual members and vice versa.
We are all social beings. We must live in society and find ways to deal with others and make sense of the world that we create. Sociology studies humanity‘s diverse ways of interacting, the institutions and social systems we build and how society organizes itself.
