About Sociology & Social Work

Understand Groups and Help Others

Sociology

Understanding relationships is integral to sociology. Building upon personal and group interactions and collective behavior helps you understand the underpinnings of how organized groups work. All societies have a specific culture. By studying the development and structure of human society, you learn how societies function.
