Abstract
Sociology is the study of the social structures and processes that exist over and above individuals. These structures and processes shape the context and experience of individuals - constraining and restricting us while simultaneously providing the order and stability needed for survival and self development. This paradox, the state of being an individual yet always a social creature, is sociology’s key concern. We will explore how sociology can help us to understand ourselves and the worlds in which we live by providing insight into the social construction of both self and society. (borrowed from Dr. Thomas G. McGowan)
