Question

nature of sociology:scop and subject matter

Answer 1

Sociology is the scientific study of society, patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and culture of everyday life.[1][2][3]It is a social science that uses various methods of empirical investigation[4] and critical analysis[5] to develop a body of knowledge about social order, acceptance, and change or social evolution. While some sociologists conduct research that may be applied directly to social policy and welfare, others focus primarily on refining the theoretical understanding of social processes. Subject matter ranges from the micro-sociology level of individual agency and interaction to the macro level of systems and the social structure.[
