Document Summary
One major task for sociologist is to stand back and look at many of our everyday activities in order to understand why human behave as we do. Individual creates society, but society, in turn, creates them. Sociologist therefore, have to disentangle the complex relationships between individual and their social world. The social world affects us in all our behaviour, including the personal and private of human behaviour, suicide: sociologist focus on general patterns or regularities in this behaviour. Sociologist, like all scientist, are interested in collecting data, but they are also interested in explaining their findings. In order to survive and carry out their daily activities, people have to organize themselves into some kind of structure, and they have to construct rules for their behaviour. One key goal of sociology: is to systematically study and analyze the various elements that constitute a society structure and the relationship among these element.
