Sociologists study social life in order to understand the causes and consequences of human action. If anthropology is the study of people, then sociology is the study of how they spend their lives. Sociologists investigate everyday life issues like how families affect people as they grow up and make choices for themselves, how people are accepted (or not accepted) into a group, environments in which people feel comfortable and productive, how people are treated by other members of society, and how issues of diversity affect the way people think and behave.
