Sociology is the study of human interaction in social groups, organizations, societies, and other social systems. Sociologists investigate social and cultural factors that flow from, and influence, human interaction. Stratification, population, gerontology, family, social problems, sport, minority relations, sex roles, deviant behavior, institutions, and criminology are some of the areas that sociologists study. Anthropology is the study of people.
Gerontology is the study of human aging.
Gerontologists typically have acquired an understanding of the physical, emotional, and intellectual characteristics of older people and the political, economic, and social implications of aging in society. Geronology is becoming a major area of study, which includes a wide range of interdisciplinary interests and professional employment opportunities.
