Solution
'Sociology' is the study of society. It is a social science (a term with which it is
sometimes synonymous) which uses various methods of empirical investigation[1] and critical
analysis[2] to develop a body of knowledge about human social activity. For many sociologists
the goal is to conduct research which may be applied directly to social policy and welfare, while
others focus primarily on refining the theoretical understanding of social processes. Subject
matter ranges from the micro level of individual agency and interaction to the macro level of
systems and the social structure. The traditional focuses of sociology have included social
stratification, social class, culture, social mobility, religion, secularisation, law, and deviance. As
all spheres of human activity are affected by the interplay between social structure and individual
agency, sociology has gradually expanded its focus to further subjects, such as health, medical,
military and penal institutions, the Internet, and the role of social activity in the development of
scientific knowledge. The range of social scientific methods has also expanded. Social
researchers draw upon a variety of qualitative and quantitative techniques. The linguistic and
