Sociology is the scientific study of social life, social change, and society. It investigates how people interact within social contexts like groups and organizations. The field looks at the structure of societies and how social behaviors are influenced. Sociology provides perspectives for understanding the world and critiquing existing ideas. It has roots in Latin and Greek terms referring to the study of companionship. Auguste Comte is viewed as the founder of sociology; he studied social norms and emphasized science's importance to society. There are several branches of sociology including social organization, social psychology, applied sociology, population studies, human ecology, and theories of social change.

spatiotemporal cohesion,
leadership, structure, division of

POPULATION
STUDIES
Public sociology is a subfield of the
wider sociological discipline that
emphasizes expanding the disciplinary
boundaries of sociology in order to
engage with non-academic audiences.
It is perhaps best understood as a style
of sociology rather than a particular
method, theory, or set of political
values.
Population studies is broadly defined
as the scientific study of human
populations. Major areas studied
include broad population dynamics;
fertility and family dynamics; health,
aging, and mortality; and human
capital and labor markets.

10. HUMAN
ECOLOGY
THEORY &
RESEARCH
Ecology in the social sciences is the
study of the ways in which the social
structure adapts to the quality of
natural resources and to the existence
of other human groups.
Sociologists study social events,
interactions, and patterns, and they
develop a theory in an attempt to
explain why things work as they do. A
sociological theory seeks to explain
social phenomena. Theories can be
used to create a testable proposition,
called a hypothesis, about society
(Allan 2006).

time and often have profound and long-
