Sociology, defined..

Humanity’s success throughout time has defined its very nature. The progress of man is not a positive accident or a coincidence, but a result of combined actions done by a civilization as a whole. Regardless of race or geographical factors, man will adapt and perform its usual hobby, to develop and progress through time. This idea presented is not derived from mere opinions made through random thoughts or “light bulb” ideas. But instead, it is an example of a result from a scientific study pertaining to how humans interact, not as individuals, but as a group, as a network, as a society. The scientific or systematic study of human interactions as a society is a man-developed science called sociology.

Sociology tackles not just progress or results from actions done by a group of people. It is a complex study of understanding why these societies act as such. Sociology tells us how and why humans coexist in a certain way. This scientific study has practically the same concept as psychology, except that it does not study human methods as an individual, but studies it as a group. Sociology explains to us how our history came to be, and why it didn’t go in a different way. Like all sciences, sociology is not yet perfected, but it can exhibit a vast amount of data, that it has accumulated since the dawn of intellectual man, until today.

Sociology includes even the slightest signals made by humans to one another. A sound, a blink, a wave, can send a message, and receive an immediate reaction, and it all falls under that branch of science. Sociology is a major factor in producing individuals beneficial to a civilization today. It also studies economy, politics, and the main game, culture. A man enlightened with sociological knowledge inherits the science, and can derive meaning and also foresee possible results of his actions. That is why sociology’s contribution has made man’s foundations in certain aspects of life quite strong. Some examples are business, education, law, military planning, religion, etc.

Sociology may not be the science most people are taking interest in, but the men and women who have contributed, and who continue to contribute to it, is surely taking interest in the people. Early official studies made in relation to sociology were made by famous people known in the world of early science. Such as Auguste Comte, Max Webber, Emile Durkheim, etc. All of which were considered intellects, and they contributed a lot to the science. But since sociology is a continuous science, many more people will contribute to its data, and sociology will contribute to the people of a civilization, for as long as the wise roam free and the men of this earth continue to be on the path of being civilized, sociology will be there for its usual means of study and contribution to man.
