WHAT DO SOCIOLOGISTS DO?
Sociologists are the people who ask the ‘why’ and ‘how’
questions of the world, and seek to provide answers and
explanations for why the world works differently for
different groups of people. Sociologists are interested in
social groups, their position in society, their experiences,
how they interrelate and the image they have of themselves. They are also interested in fi nding out about social
differences between people and explaining why they often turn into social divisions and perceived inequalities.
