Sociology is the scientific study of human groups and group life. Sociologists search for answers to many provoking questions.
Sociologists understand that lives do not happen in a vacuum but that influences exist and have impact. As such, students of sociology are encouraged to ‘think outside the box’, identifying and appreciating these influences.
