Introduction
Sociology is the study of human society. It is a broad field that encompasses the study of social institutions, social groups, social interactions, and social change.
Sociologists use a variety of methods to study society, including:
- Observation: Observing people’s behavior in natural or laboratory settings.
- Interviews: Asking people about their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
- Surveys: Administering questionnaires to a large number of people.
- Content analysis: Analyzing written or visual texts to identify patterns and themes.
- Experimentation: Conducting controlled studies to test hypotheses about social behavior.
