The main points of subject matter in sociology include social institutions, social structures, social behaviors, social movements, social interactions, culture, social change, and social inequality. Sociology seeks to understand how these factors influence individuals and societies on a macro and micro level.
Nearly every subject that is founded on/studied with human interaction. Any discipline in which humans come together, interact, and form an institution with ideas can be seen as a subject study in sociology. Sociology collides with psychology, philosophy, economics, anthropology, literature, epistemology, history, education, law, political science, etc. Any discipline involving studying human beings or human life in some aspect or sphere, you will find it in sociology. There is even math present if you are studying economical sociology and for statistical research.
The main central subjects of sociology are:
Sociology of Gender & Sexuality
Sociology of Crime & Deviancy
Sociology of Education
Sociology of Family
Sociology of Individual & Society
Then there are much more specific sociologies such as sociology of emotion, sociology of addiction, sociology of suicide, sociology of sexual behavior, sociology of urban community, subcultures, etc.
The subjects are vast. There is a sociology for almost everything.
Anthropology is the social science closest to sociology in its subject matter as both disciplines study social behavior, cultures, and societies. Anthropology focuses on the study of human societies, cultures, and their development over time, while sociology focuses on the study of human social relationships, institutions, and systems within societies.
It is not a requirement to study sociology as a subject, but understanding sociological concepts can provide valuable insights into human behavior, social structures, and relationships. Studying sociology can help individuals build cultural awareness, critical thinking skills, and a deeper understanding of societal issues.
Sociology is considered a social science. It uses scientific methods to study society, social interactions, and human behavior. It involves systematic observation, data collection, analysis, and theory building to understand social phenomena.
No, sociology is not considered an absolute science because its findings can be influenced by subjective interpretations and varying social contexts. Sociological theories and perspectives are subject to ongoing debate and revision as new evidence and perspectives emerge.
Korean Journal of Sociology was created in 1964.
