What are the practical uses of sociology?

By definition sociology is the scientific study of societies and human social behavior. Sociology tries to find out why things are the way they are, in social relationships. In the real world sociologists will do surveys on neighborhoods, for instance with high crime, the results of the survey can help sociologists and neighborhood improvement groups to find a way to reduce the crime rate and clean the area up. Sociology today is used to find out how and why groups of people are interacting the way they are, and by studying those interactions sociologists can determine if something needs to change, like a law, or funding for programs. Sociology also helped people to understand other cultures, and since today there is wide spread cultural diffusion, sociologists are looking at the possible effects of this diffusion. Sociology is very pertinent to today's world , sociologists do studies on all groups of people to find ways to better people's lives.
