Question

sociology is defined as the:

• qualitative analysis of human phenomenon.
• systematic study of society and social interaction.
• quantitative analysis of social transgressions.
• theoretical examination of lifes origins.

Explanation:

To determine the correct definition of sociology, we analyze each option:

• "Qualitative analysis of human phenomenon" is too broad and not specific to sociology (other fields also analyze human phenomena).
• "Systematic study of society and social interaction" aligns with the core definition of sociology, which focuses on understanding society and how people interact within it.
• "Quantitative analysis of social transgressions" is incorrect as sociology uses both qualitative and quantitative methods and is not limited to studying transgressions.
• "Theoretical examination of life's origins" is related to fields like biology or philosophy, not sociology.

Answer:

B. Systematic study of society and social interaction.
