“Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both.” C Wright Mills Sociology is the study of human social relationships and institutions. It is about the social relationships that people share in their families, in their schools and in the workplace. Sociology reminds us that there are no right or wrong answers when it comes to studying the way that people live together. The purpose of sociology is to try to understand how human action and consciousness both shape and are shaped by surrounding cultural and social structures.
