Sociology, the scientific study of human societies, offers a unique lens through which we can understand the world around us. It challenges our assumptions, broadens our perspectives, and empowers us to critically examine the social forces that shape our lives. At the heart of the sociological perspective lie ten fundamental questions that guide our inquiry and illuminate the complexities of human behavior.
Ten Essential Questions
1. What is society?
Society refers to the complex network of relationships, institutions, and cultural norms that form the foundation of our social existence. Sociologists explore the ways in which societies are structured, how they function, and how they change over time.
