This chapter also explores the origins of sociology, its significance, and its intersections with other social sciences.

TERMS, CONCEPTS AND THEIR USE IN SOCIOLOGY
Exploration of sociology involves understanding the interplay between individuals and society, including the groups formed, social structures, and various types of social inequality.

Key concepts such as status, role, social control, and stratification provide insights into the complexities of social interactions and societal organization.
