 SOCIECUL/PHILPOPCUL

The word sociology has been derived from two terms, logus, which
means science or study, and socius, which means “group or
partners.”
Hence, sociology deals with the study of groups.
In a group, the interaction process is vital.
From this, patterns of behavior evolve.

---------

Sociology is concerned with how people behave in groups and how

group interaction shapes their behaviour.
The groups they study may be small, such as married couples, or
large, such as a subculture of suburban teenagers.
 Sociologists also study the rules, organization, and the value system
which enable men to live together.
Sociology is concerned with social institutions, social problems, and
all other aspects of human behaviour.

----------------------

Sociology is a social science.

The social scientists study the social world.
In the study of sociology, one looks at the ways in which groups are
formed, and the results of group conduct.
He is concerned with ways in which a group affects its members and
ways in which members affect their groups.
