Sociology involves systematic study and analysis of human society, including patterns of social relationships, institutions, and culture. Simply reading about a group of people provides information on a specific group but lacks the theoretical framework and methodologies that sociology uses to understand broader societal trends and phenomena. Sociology aims to uncover underlying social structures and dynamics that shape individual and group behavior.

The primary formal group in sociology is the American Sociological Association (ASA). This organization is dedicated to advancing sociology as a scientific discipline and profession, promoting sociological research and teaching, and fostering public understanding of the field. Membership in the ASA is open to sociologists, students, and professionals interested in the study of society.
