Sociology Anthropology

Sociology is the study of human society and
social behavior from large institutions to small
groups and individual interactions. Sociology
plays a major part in everyone’s everyday life the
roles that have helped me become the person that I
am today are race, social class, gender, & culture.
ociology seeks to understand and analyze religion,
race, family, crime, gender, social movements,
and more. To achieve the goals of sociology,
sociologists use methods like surveys,
experiments, interviews and historical
documentation. Sociology considers not just
society as a whole but an individual within a
society and how individuals are affected by the
beliefs that govern a society.
In anthropology, the self-came to be understood as a
process that orchestrates an. individual's personal
experience following which s/he becomes self-aware and
self- reflective about her or his place in society. And also
it is the study of people throughout the world, their
evolutionary history, how they behave, adapt to different
environments, communicate and socialise with one
another. The study of anthropology is concerned both
with the biological features that make us human (such as
physiology, genetic makeup, nutritional history and
evolution) and with social aspects such as language,
culture, politics, family and religion.
