What is Sociology?

Today social strata have evolved into the core basis of defining society and all that there is to it. Sociologist have consequently committed themselves to understanding social inequality as a fundamental aspect of virtually all social processes and a person’s position within the whole structure of this complex stratum.

In many quarters it is credited for being the most integral part of the common behavior of the various members of society vis-à-vis their attitude and other behavioral features.
Social life in our day and age is a system that is well connected and arranged. In it there are schemes of paths taken together forming a unified whole.

I am looking at the diverse actions that we take today in our day to day activities, and individual choices that define that we are today and the responsibilities that we presently hold in our societies.
Surprisingly enough, the outcome of all this is not just total confusion on the globe but we have come up with systems that are actually adding to our comfort here on earth.

A critical analysis reveals that teachers and professors of our universities are the major part of achieving the existing social standards. They empower the world as far as education is concerned. A hypothetical illustration such as a sudden collapse of all educational institutions will make the future of our generation a bleak condition.

The system functions with students, faculties and administrators, working in a complementary fashion to keep our education system functioning. In addition, there is a dependant relationship between the teacher and the student. Hence this clearly shows how dependant our societies are and emphasizes the need for proper understanding of our social ties and responsibilities within our societies.

In another scenario, consider the illustration of a flock of geese flying in tight formation. Collectively, they form the image of a giant delta-shaped bird that moves as purposively as if it were a single organism. Yet the flock has no “group mind” nor is there a “leader bird” choreographing the formation (Resnick 1994). Rather, each bird reacts to the movement of its immediate neighbors who in turn react to it.
