Sociology 101 - K.Harrison - JJC

Sociology is the study of social behavior or society, including its origins, development, organization, networks, and institutions. It is a social science that uses various methods of empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop a body of knowledge about social order, disorder, and change. Many sociologists conduct research that may be applied directly to social policy and welfare, while others focus primarily on refining the theoretical understanding of social processes.
