Sociology is the study of human behavior and interaction at the micro, group, societal, and even global levels. It also analyzes the social structures and cultures that
humans create and maintain such as organizations, religion, and political systems. Sociology is a rather broad discipline since all of human behavior is social. It is fair to say that it contains
elements of psychology, political science, history, economics, anthropology, communications, and philosophy, yet is a unique discipline that differs from all of these in important ways. It differs
from psychology in that it primarily focuses on groups rather than individuals. It varies from economics and political science in that it studies society more widely.
