Sociology is the scientific study of society, including patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and culture. It is a social science that uses various methods of empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop a body of knowledge about social order, acceptance, and change or social evolution.

Subject matter ranges from the micro-sociology level of individual agency and interaction to the macro level of systems and the social structure.
