,INTRODUCTION
Man is a social being.
All human beings are social beings.
We cannot become fully human without
Relationships and culture; which is the heritage
of every society.
Nursing and medicine are a “technology”, and
technology is culture-specific, e.g. you may wish to
inject a patient but he may refuse saying “in our
clan we are never injected”.

The term 'sociology' can be traced to Auguste
Comte in 1837.
He combined the Latin word for society (socio)
with the Greek word for science (logy) thus
identifying an area of study that pertained to the
science of society.
Auguste Comte (1837) defined sociology as dealings
with all aspects of human activities and relationships,
their outcomes, rules and regulations.
Sociology is the study of social life, social change,
and the social causes and consequences of
human behaviour.
Sociologists investigate the structure of groups,
organisations, and societies, and how people
interact within these contexts.
, According to Akinsola (1983)
sociology is explained as a social
science that deals with the
organisation of societies, people’s
patterns of behaviour within the
social structure, and how these
social structures are arranged in
the society
