Sociology: The Study of Human Relationships

Sociology is the study of society. In order to understand society we must be able to see the world through the eyes of others. By using this social logical imagination you can understand the world around you. Sociology involves asking questions and solving problems. It focuses on looking at people and their ways of life as well as studying social trends, cultural changes, human development, social institutions, and collective behavior. Studying sociology also means looking at why things are where they are and at the relationships between humans and the world around them. The study of sociology helps us make connections between human behavior and society. - p. xxvi-xxvii.
