Sociology studies human society and group life by means of empirical scientific observation and analysis. Theoretical formulations, critical analysis, and historical and empirical inquiry are among the methods of research used by sociologists. Although all aspects of social life are included within the purview of the discipline, sociology tends to focus on contemporary social structures and their bearing on and application to urgent public issues and persistent human concerns.
