Sociology

Traditional focuses of sociology include

social stratification,

social class,

social mobility,

religion,

secularization,

law,

sexuality,

gender, and

deviance.

As all spheres of human activity are affected by the interplay between social structure and individual agency, sociology has gradually expanded its focus to other subjects and institutions, such as health and the institution of medicine; economy; military; punishment and systems of control; the Internet; sociology of education; social capital; and the role of social activity in the development of scientific knowledge.
