What is Sociology?
Sociology looks at society from every angle - it's the scientific study of social life. Sociology is part of the social sciences that aims at answering questions as to why and how we group together to form societies as well as the individual’s roles within society. The fundamental insight of the discipline is that the social matters; our lives are affected not only by our personal psychology, but by our place in the social world. Substantively, sociologists look at a range of issues, from inequality to human ecology, from deviance to religion, from medicine to politics. Few fields offer students (and researchers) opportunities of such breadth.
