SOCIOLOGY
Define Society
A society is a grouping of individuals, which is characterized by common
interests and may have distinctive culture and institutions. In a society,
members can be from a different ethnic group.
The English word society can be stretched or narrowed to cover almost any
form of association of persons possessing any degree of common interests,
values, or goals. Society in the nineteenth century meant the upper classes;
one might now refer to international academic society or European society,
though these uses might be disputed. The primary and most normal sense

SOCIOLOGY
refers to a society defined by the boundaries of the state, even though this
usage is odd and potentially misleading in the many cases where there is
more than one sizeable ethnic or cultural group in a society, like Canada and
South Africa.
The influential German sociologists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries, Weber and Ferdinand Tnnies, suggested that societies take
different forms in so far as the very nature of the association between people
differs. Tnnies distinguished a Gemeinschaft form, where people are linked
by assumption, tradition, and familiar ties, from Gesellschaft, where their
association is agreed, self-conscious, and quasi-contractual. All societies
contain elements of both.
A wide variety of contemporary writers choose to refer, in a Hegelian manner,
to a civil society. A civil society in this sense is not the population of a stateas such and it is very far from being the mere amalgam of people on a
particular territory. Civil society is a range of relationships and organizations
which possess a tendency to form a political system. The history of France
from, say, 1780 exemplifies the distinction: the state has been re-formed and
redefined many times but France has remained a distinct and continuous civil
society throughout the period. Neither Europe nor Brittany or Provence
separately, for all that they might have societies in some sense, have been a
civil society in the way that France has.
Define Aims Of Sociology
Sociology is the scientific study of how societies function and change. Studentsexamine the familial, marital, religious, economic, and political institutionalforces that influence the lives of people in various societies and cultures. This
major program, with its blending of the liberal arts, gives its students a rich,wholistic view of collective, social behavior. Students should be able tointegrate the knowledge of this discipline into their intellectual and spirituallives.
The Sociology degree is an appropriate preparation for administrativepositions in social service agencies, businesses, and hospitals, and for helpingprofessions such as criminology, administration of justice, probation work, civil

service, and regional and urban planning. Opportunities also exist for positionsin child development and care for the aged. The Sociology major is a solidfoundation for students who intend to pursue a graduate degree either insociology or any of the related fields cited above.
Define Social Structure
in sociology, the distinctive, stable arrangement of institutionswhereby human beings in a society interact and live together. Social structure
is often treated together with the concept ofsocial change, which deals with
the forces that change the social structure and the organization of society.
Social Theory and Social Structure has influenced a generation of sociologists
and remains a viable and important source for those who are just now
entering the field. Many common-place concepts can be traced to this book,
for example, "reference groups", "self-fulling prophecy", and the "anomie
theory of deviance", to name a few. Merton, in this book, also introduced the
notion of "theories of the middle-range" to sociology. Although the idea hasbeen, and still is controversial, the suggestion that sociologists develop
middle-range theories which come between grand theories and more narrow
empirical observations struck a chord with some.

SOCIOLOGY
Define Social Group
A social group is an organization of people or groups. It is to keep a couple of
groups or people in an order for the sake of a single or many purposes. It
cannot take those people or groups who are irrelevant. This group can be done
for the sake of social participations. Its activity and durability is dependent
upon the work they do. They become a family with the passage of time. They
find themselves able to understand one another.
This can be further elucidated by the help of an example. This example is
about an organization who is working for the benefit of women in a specific
area. Those who are a part of this organization will be able to give rise to asocial group. Those who will be off the view to save women in that area will
become a part of that group. All of them must work for the prosperity of
women with one another. Social groups can be of many types and they can be
ramified on the basis of their needs in an area.
Define Socialization
Process by which individuals acquire the knowledge, language, social skills,
and value to conform to the norms and rolesrequired for integration into
a group or community. It is acombination of both self-imposed (because the
individual wants to conform) and externally-imposed rules, and
the expectations of the others. In an organizational setting, socialization refers
to the process through which a new employee 'learns the ropes,' by becoming
sensitive to the formal and informal powerstructure and the explicit and

implicit rules ofbehavior. See also organizational
culture and orientation.
Socialization is important in the process ofpersonality formation. While muchof human personality is the result of our genes, the socialization process can
mold it in particular directions by encouraging specific beliefs and attitudes aswell as selectively providing experiences. This very likely accounts for much ofthe difference between the common personality types in one society incomparison to another. For instance, the Semai tribesmen of the centralMalay Peninsula of Malaysia typically are gentle people who do not like violent,aggressive individuals. In fact, they avoid them whenever possible. Incontrast, the Yanomam Indians on the border area between Venezuela andBrazil usually train their boys to be tough and aggressive. The idealYanomam man does not shrink from violence and strong emotions. In fact,he seeks them out. Likewise, Shiite Muslim men of Iran are expected at timesto publicly express their religious faith through the emotionally powerful act of
self-inflicted pain.
Define Culture
Integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behaviour that is both a
result of and integral to the human capacity for learning and transmittingknowledge to succeeding generations. Culture thus consists of language,
ideas, beliefs, customs, taboos, codes, institutions, tools, techniques, works of
art, rituals, ceremonies, and symbols. It has played a crucial role in human
evolution, allowing human beings to adapt the environment to their own
purposes rather than depend solely on natural selection to achieve adaptive
success. Every human society has its own particular culture, or sociocultural
system. Variation among cultures is attributable to such factors as differing
physical habitats and resources; the range of possibilities inherent in areas
such as language, ritual, and social organization; and historical phenomena
such as the development of links with other cultures. An individual's attitudes,
values, ideals, and beliefs are greatly influenced by the culture (or cultures) in
which he or she lives. Culture change takes place as a result of ecological,
socioeconomic, political, religious, or other fundamental factors affecting a
society. See alsoculture contact; sociocultural evolution.
