Sociology is the study of social life and social change, as well as the social causes, conditions and consequences of human behavior. Sociologists investigate distinctive perspectives on the world, generating new ideas and critiquing old ones. Almost everything we do, from our own private reflections to international conflict, is done either directly or indirectly, through and with others. Sociologists study such areas as:
  • smoking, sports, sexuality, and terrorism
  • anger, frustration, fear, love and happiness
  • street crime and delinquency
  • birth, life, and death

Sociologists understand social inequality, patterns of behavior, forces for social change and resistance, and how social systems work. Since Sociology examines human behavior - the field of research and theory is vast and applicable to virtually any aspect of social life!
