Description:

Sociology is the scientific study of society and social life and should be of interest to anyone committed to developing comprehensive explanations for human behaviour. It seeks to explain why people behave the way they do. It studies the different human groups to which people belong: families, social classes, religions, neighbourhoods, countries and races.

Sociologists are interested in how these groups influence what people do and say and, at the same time, how individuals, through the way they change their behaviour, change the nature of these groups. Sociology combines theoretical analysis and empirical research. It involves the development of theories and concepts that help us understand society and social life.
