Sociology is a social science, a study of society. Literature is the art of written language.
Sociology and literature both provide insights into human behavior and society, but they differ in their approach. Sociology uses empirical research to study social structures and interactions, while literature uses storytelling and narratives to explore human experiences and emotions. However, both disciplines can complement each other in understanding complex social issues and cultural dynamics.
