Sociology Is Curious About Our Society More Than Neighboring Aunties
Contrary to the honourable opinions of Jeetu Bhaiya, Sociology involves all the things, like, ‘Kahan kiski sarkar giri, kiski kis se shaadi hui, IPL kisne jeeta. Ye sab matter karta hai.’
On that note, have a look at all the things that has to offer:
1. ‘”Sociology,” naam se to kuch social sa hi lag raha hai.’
In the simplest of words, sociology is like the general science of society. Like biology is the thorough study of life and living organisms, it is the in-depth study of our society and its elements.

3. ‘Sociology–ah! such nuances, much wow.’
The fascinating part about Sociology is that all of us and our seemingly trivial daily activities are a part of it. A colleague getting married, two friends getting into a fight, that old uncle going to temple every day, people protesting for a cause–everything comes under the radar.
4. ‘Bahuba…Sorry! “Sociology*-The Beginning”‘
French philosopher Auguste Comte is known as the Father of Sociology. He was the one who founded and positivism. The name, Sociology, was given to the discipline by Comte, and he established it as a properly structured subject.

Sociology originated as a distinct discipline in India in the period around the 1920s. Bombay University started teaching around 1914, but it was only after establishing sociology departments in Bombay (now, Mumbai) and Lucknow that the current academic sociology became formalized.

7. ‘Sociology or Gulzar Sahab Ki Poetry? Which one is more profound?’
Since the discipline is so vast, sociology has too many subject matters, including education, healthcare, crime, law, business, discrimination, social movements, economy, war, etc. There will be many nuances to these subject matters as well. Phew, vast indeed!

Sociology and its study aren’t limited to the social behaviour of our society and its people. It also sheds light on the future, motives, aspirations, traditions, customs, culture, etc., concerned with the always interdependent individual of the society.
