Sociology is the study of humans in interaction with others.
Sociologists study people interacting at work, at school, at
worship, in politics, in sports, or within the family. The
focus of this
broad discipline ranges from the intimate relationship of a
romance to multinational corporations doing business around the
world. Sociology is interested in children playing happily
together or friends recalling “remember the time” stories, as
well as organized crime competing for territory in the city or
nations engaging in war. |

Sociologists study the commonalities of humans but also the
divisions of society such as race, class, and gender. As one of
the social sciences, sociology is a research-based discipline
using a variety of theories and research methods to analyze the
patterns and challenges of social life. |

The American Sociological Association provides a wealth of
information about the discipline.
