Sociology is the systematic study of group life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. Sociology as a discipline is as broad and diverse as social life within various cultures. It combines scientific and humanistic perspectives in the study of gender, sexuality, crime, cults, family patterns, race and ethnicity, wealth and inequality, popular culture, aging, and the environment. Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations and societies, and how individuals and groups interact within these contexts.
