Sociologist (651 words)
Sociologists study human society and social behavior through the prism of group formations and social , political, religious, and economic institutions . Sociologists have keen senses of observation and analysis, and abundant and natural curiosity. Because the core requirement of sociology is an understanding of social institutions and behavior, the sociologist is not unlike other social scientists such as economists, psychologists, anthropologists, political scientists, and social workers in that their work also involves social impact assessment.
Sociology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2540 words)
Most sociologists work in one or more specialties, such as social organization , social stratification, and social mobility; racial and ethnic relations; education; family ; social psychology ; urban, rural, political, and comparative sociology; sex roles and relationships; demography ; gerontology; criminology; and sociological practice. Sociologists are concerned with the characteristics of social groups , organizations , and institutions ; the ways individuals are affected by each other and by the groups to which they belong; and the effect of social traits such as sex, age, or race on a person’s daily life. Today, sociologists research macro-structures that organize society , such as race or ethnicity , social class , gender roles , and institutions such as the family ; social processes that represent deviation from, or the breakdown of, these structures , including crime and divorce ; and micro-processes such as interpersonal interactions and the socialization of individuals .
