What is Sociology?

Sociology is the study of social relations, how they are formed and what their consequences are. Sociologists observe how people relate to one another, why they behave in similar or different ways, and how individual actions are linked to collective actions. We look at how cultures develop, how organizations function or don’t, how states and public policies shape ordinary people’s lives, and how culture, politics, and economics come together.
