least four keywords that correspond best to the definition of sociology. Explain the goal of
sociology. Share with the class why you want to study sociology?
According to the text, Our Social World: An Introduction to Sociology (2015), the keywords
within the definition of sociology are scientific, human social behavior, group, and change. The
goal of sociology is to study human behavior, diverse social interaction, and relationships. My
reason for studying sociology is to see how people have changed over the years socially. While
searching for possible changes within the social experiences, I am curious if things have
remained the same more-so than changed. I would like to know why people behave the way they
do such as cultural, ethnic, and economic differences.
