Sociology is the science of human society and social behavior. Sociologists explore how individuals interact, shaping and being shaped by cultural, economic and societal environments - be they economic or societal environments like those found in cultures other than their own - shaping both individuals' actions as well as being affected by them. Sociologists investigate diverse areas such as social institutions, inequality, deviance and change while employing research methods such as surveys, interviews or observations to analyze human behaviour and trends within societies. Sociology helps us make sense of an increasingly interconnected world while offering insights into social issues and human relations dynamics - vitally informing public policies as well as encouraging a better understanding of human experience from all sides.
