Question

Why is it so important to study sociology(please give a paragraph)

Answer 1

Answer:

Sociology increases the understanding and power of social action. Sociology studies the role of social institutions (home, school, church and more) in the development of the individuals. Sociology provides critical insight and perspective to the solution of social problems.

Explanation:

We should study Sociology because it can affect all aspects of our lives, each and every day and learn valuable lessons from the studies and improve our living. We can use Sociology change our lives today, so that tomorrow will be better for ourselves, children, and so on.

Sociology helps us look more objectively at our society and other societies. It directs attention to how the parts of society fit together and change, as well as makes us aware of the consequences of that social change.

One reason to study sociology is simply because sociology is a fascinating and multifaceted discipline. Sociologists and students of sociology can study anything, including other disciplines, because sociological issues are prominent in all aspects of life. Take a look at all the different research and teaching interest areas of our faculty to get an idea of how varied sociology is.

Students often major in sociology simply because they enjoy the courses we offer. The courses we offer are relevant to our students' lives, as they tackle social issues in which our students have first-hand experience. But for students who may not have direct experience with some of the social issues raised in our classes, studying sociology helps students to not only better understand the world around them, but sociology helps students to better understand they own lives.

Studying sociology also equips students with both tangible and intangible skills. More tangible skills include research skills, particularly the ability to conduct data analysis. A skill set in quantitative data analysis (statistics) and proficiency in a statistical software are especially valuable, as studies suggest that jobs and careers involving quantitative skills pay more than non-quantitative positions and are in greater demand. Qualitative data analysis also is a valuable skill that students acquire.
