Sociology may be unique among the social sciences because it alone seeks to
study all of the other disciplines. The reason is that society, the concern of
sociology, contains all of the other disciplines. Sociology may want to
understand the history of a society and relate it to the present.

Sociology, a social science that studies human societies, their interactions, and
the processes that preserve and change them. It does this by examining the
dynamics of constituent parts of societies such as institutions, communities,
populations, and gender, racial, or age groups.

Sociology differs from other social sciences in that it is more general and covers
human interaction from a broad dimension whereas the other social sciences
are specific. In fact, all other social sciences are said to have sprung from
sociology.
As indicated, sociology is the scientific study of human relationships, their
interactions, and institutions.
