Last but not least, I would like to give examples and give my point of view on the word sociology, such as what does it mean to me! First, I would like to define and explain what sociology means to me! Sociology explores people and society. It examines our social institutions; our families, the state and social relationships like gender and ethnicity, to help make sense of how we both see and interpret our rapidly changing world.

Each part of society fills different needs and each has specific consequences that form and shape society; all depend on each other (Crossman, A, 2014). Colleges and learning institutions are now providing non-traditional courses, such as “Death” and “The Joy of Garbage” to coincide with core courses to provide students with a better perspective of how each part of life plays a role in society.
