Description
ABOUT
Sociology is a social science discipline oriented to a critical understanding of social arrangements and expectations. The notion of social arrangements is central—we seek to explain both where they come from and how they matter.
This idea of critical understanding or critique is also very important. It means that we have an obligation not only to describe how things are but also to contribute to an informed discussion of what might be. Science and values tend therefore to be only partially or temporarily separable. Since this concern for informed debate and improvement is also a fundamental responsibility of citizenship, sociology is centrally involved in the business of helping develop the perspectives and skills of responsible members of society.
