Ever wonder why society is the way it is?<\/h2>\n

How are beauty standards formed? Why do people choose the partners they marry? Why are some careers seen as “men\u2019s work” or “women\u2019s work?”<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re always asking “why” you might be a sociologist in the making.<\/p>\n

What Is Sociology?<\/h2>\n

Sociology is the scientific study of human society \u2013 how people behave within groups, and how those groups shape everything from our personal beliefs to the laws we follow.<\/p>\n

Sociologists explore big questions about inequality, culture, institutions, and social change. If you\u2019ve ever noticed patterns in how people act or questioned the \u201crules\u201d we all seem to follow, you\u2019re already thinking like one. See the curriculum<\/a>.<\/p>\n
