What is the subject Sociology?

Sociology is the study of society, human social behaviour, patterns of social and relationships, social interaction, and culture that surrounds us in our everyday lives. Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organisations, and societies, and how people interact within these contexts.

Sociology’s subject matter is diverse, ranging from crime to religion, from the divisions of race and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture, and from social stability to radical change in entire societies. By covering so many different topics, one of sociology’s main purposes is to understand how human action and consciousness both shape and are shaped by surrounding cultural and social structures.

Sociology isn’t a subject rooted in the past. It is always adapting to suit the society it is trying to study. Sociology is about looking forward to all the changes on the horizon.

In summary, it’s a fascinating subject that covers all aspects of modern life on the planet.

Why should you study Sociology?

One of the main reasons you should consider studying sociology is because it gives you the opportunity to specialise in a vast array of different fields. Sociologists and students of sociology can study anything, including other disciplines, because sociological issues are prominent in all aspects of life.

The subject has adaptability – from varied life experiences to varied topics of study. As Sociology isn’t limited to one industry, or even one way of thinking for that matter, it is one of the most popular joint honour subjects at universities.

Also it has often been said that sociology is a degree with a very diverse studentship. It can attract people interested in exploring society through many different avenues, meaning you are unlikely to find a more unique group of people on any other degree course.

Furthermore while studying sociology you’ll gain many useful skills like critical thinking, analytical skills, reading, writing and oral communication skills, research skills and more.
