and experiments, to analyse social behaviour and structures (Macanovic, 2022). This
scientific approach ensures that findings are based on empirical evidence rather than
personal opinions or assumptions.
Focus on Social Structures and Institutions
Sociology examines how social structures such as family, education systems,
economic institutions, influence0717513144 individuals' behaviours and societal
functions. It looks at how these structures shape and are shaped by social interactions
and relationships.
Analysis of Social Interactions

individuals and groups interact, communicate, and form relationships (Lahmami,
2020). This helps in understanding how social norms, roles, and expectations impact
behaviour.
Use of Theoretical Frameworks
Sociology utilizes various theoretical perspectives, such as functionalism, conflict
theory, and symbolic interactionism, to analyse and interpret social phenomena. These
frameworks offer different viewpoints on the nature and dynamics of social life.
