    Sociology is the systematic, critical study of human social life and how people interact together. It examines society in a scientific way and how social forces shape human behavior, thoughts and feelings. Sociology provides a perspective to see individuals as part of larger social categories and institutions that influence them, such as gender roles, types of work, and interconnected social and cultural systems on a global scale that exist beyond any single person. It studies how interaction with others and awareness of society guides individual actions and thinking.
