Sociology is the study of human social relationships and institutions. Sociologyâs subject matter is diverse, ranging from crime to religion, from the family to the state, from the divisions of race and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture, and from social stability to radical change in whole societies.
The word sociology (or sociologie) is derived from the Latin: socius, companion; and-ology, the study of, resulting in the study of companionship. This should not be construed as the study of prostitution, although many Sociologists have accidentally crossed that boundary, some of which are detailed later.
