What is Sociology?
Sociology is a behavioral and interpretive science. Sociologists seek to
understand and explain how human actions, thoughts and feelings interact
with the social environment. Sociologists study human relationships; how
and why they arise and change over time. Emphasis is placed on how human
relationships are formed, how groups emerge, and how institutions, such
as the family and religion, are created and maintained.
Other specific topics of interest to sociologists range from the most common
to the most extraordinary, and from traditional to more deviant types of
behavior. Ultimately, the goal of sociological inquiry is to benefit human
beings. Students learn what their society is and why, and also explore their
own beliefs and actions. A sociological understanding of the world around
them will help them choose wisely when faced with the complex and difficult
social and political choices of their lives
