Sociology is the formal study of society and social structure.
The study of sociology aids students in understanding human relations and organizational behavior. It helps students understand behavior in families, in communities, and in the many complex organizations which dominate modern industrial societies. The study of sociology may help students understand why people usually conform, but sometimes deviate and break the rules and laws of society. Students learn the process of scientific problem solving, a skill increasingly in demand in both the private and public sectors. Students learn to identify problems, analyze data, test ideas against the facts, and write reports.
