What is socuology |
| Answer» Sociology\xa0is the study of societies and how humans act in groups.\xa0Sociology\xa0is a social science. People who study\xa0sociology\xa0are called\xa0sociologists. A society is the community of people living in a particular country or region and having shared customs, laws, and organizations.\xa0The two major\xa0types of sociology\xa0that emerged were qualitative\xa0sociology\xa0and quantitative\xa0sociology. Today, most universities use both qualitative and quantitative methods of inquiry, and one method is not necessarily better than the other.\xa0Sociologists today employ three primary theoretical\xa0perspectives: the symbolic\xa0interactionist perspective, the\xa0functionalist perspective, and the\xa0conflict perspective. These\xa0perspectives\xa0offer sociologists theoretical paradigms for explaining how society influences people, and vice versa. | |
