There are sociologists interested in virtually all aspects of the social world. It goes beyond surface appearances in an attempt to find out how things really work. Sociologists ask many questions. What divides or unites social groups? What causes the inequalities we see in society? How does power actually operate? Questions like these are crucial to understanding some of the biggest issues facing the world today.
