Sociology is in a sense the study of our very own humanity. Human culture is perhaps one of the most complex systems in existence with nearly limitless possibilities for study and understanding. This is in part because society and culture are constantly changing throughout time. And if we wish to make progress in sociological issues, or in other words, the issues that affect humankind, then we must understand and learn from our own social system. Social problems are one of the greatest factors in American politics, making it extremely important to us to gain an understanding of how these issues affect our lives.
Sociology shares its roots with the anthropology of today in understanding culture in an empirical and scientific method. While the hard sciences have brought us advancements in technology that allow greater interaction between individuals and societies at home and abroad, being able to understand how that technology affects social continuity and communication becomes increasingly important. The cultural interactions between groups within society lend itself to gaining a better understanding of the current formulation of human nature and the possible path of social interaction in the future.
