3. Types of Sociology:
Micro-Sociology:
The study of cultural rules of politeness in conversation is an example of micro-
sociology. At the micro-level of analysis, the focus is on the social dynamics of
intimate, face-to-face interactions.
Macro-Sociology:
Macro-sociology focuses on the properties of large-scale, society-wide social
interactions: the dynamics of institutions, classes, or whole societies. The example
above of the influence of migration on changing patterns of language usage is a
macro-level phenomenon because it refers to structures or processes of social
interaction that occur outside or beyond the intimate circle of individual social
acquaintances.
