What is Sociology?
Sociologists study human society. Human society is an interesting but complex subject to study. On the one hand, defining the term human society has an optimistic tone; it refers to citizens who live and work together in harmony. On the other hand, the definition has a negative downside because of all the tensions, conflicts and violence that exist in societies, both past and present. In the capacity as sociologist you will study human society on a large scale, such as in a country, but also on a small scale, such as life in a village community or a family unit.
