About the Area of Study
The discipline of Sociology is concerned with the social and cultural life of humans. Sociologists study the organization, functions, and problems of human societies and groups. The dynamics of human relationships are of primary interest along with the analysis of culture, social systems, socialization, social classes, poverty, minorities and majorities, population, social institutions, and social change.
