What is Sociology?
Auguste Comte, a French philosopher, coined the term Sociology in 1839, combining two Latin words: ‘societies,’ which means society, and ‘logos,’ which means study. Sociology is the study of society in its broadest sense.
Sociology is the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human conduct.
Sociologists study the structure of groups, organizations, and communities, as well as how individuals interact with them.
Because all human activity is social, sociology covers everything from the close family to the hostile mob; from organized crime to religious cults; from racial, gender, and social class differences to shared cultural views; and from work sociology to sports sociology.
