Sociology is, overall, a way of seeing and analyzing the world. It is an eclectic field, encompassing multiple—sometimes contradictory—perspectives, theories and methods. But all sociology shares one fundamental idea: we experience the world in the context of relationships: with individuals, in groups and communities as well as society writ large. Our relationships allow us to make sense of the world and to take action within it.
