Abstract:
Sociology is the study of society. It involves the critical
analysis of the different types of social memberships/
connections & institutions that constitute society across place
& time. Simply put, Sociology entails human social interaction
and the rules and processes that bind and separate people not
only as individuals, but as members of associations, groups
and institutions.
Sociology allows us to study individual behaviour in a
broader context, to take into consideration how societal forces
might impact upon individuals, as well as the ways in which
individuals construct the world around them, and how they
manage to resist existing power relationships in order to
achieve social change. In this light, sociology represents 'a
transformation of consciousness1 (Berger 1963: 21).
Industrialization on the other hand, is one of the most
important processes changing the world today. It has tire
potential of doing both great good and great evil.
