Sociology

In the simplest way The definition of sociology is the study of society. This science examines human societies, their actions, and the processes that maintain or change societies in their current state. The said science tries to achieve this goal by experiencing society into its constituent parts such as associations, institutions, groups of the same sex, same race, or the same age, and examining how these components actively interact with each other. In addition, this science investigates issues such as social class, stratification, social movement, social change, and disorders such as crime, deviance, and revolution. Compared to animals, humans are less influenced and controlled by instincts, and a large part of their behavior is controlled by social structures. This issue shows the necessity of the existence of organizations (such as economic, religious, educational, political, etc.) to determine the behavior and decisions of people. Sociology is not the study of a certain part of the society, but it can also study the society as a whole, that is, it can be a special discipline that takes the society as the unit of analysis. The task of sociology is to discover how the institutions that make up society are connected and which social systems connect them together (Inkles, 1353:23).
