Sociology is a very broad discipline with many different areas.
One area, social psychology, focuses upon individuals within groups and on group dynamics. Social organization focuses upon larger units in society such as businesses, social stratification and race and ethnic relations. Another area focuses upon how to do social research and analyze data. Some sociologists study social problems, deviant behavior, juvenile delinquency or criminology. Others study marriage and the family and sexuality.
