The scientific study of society is known as sociology. All spheres of human activity are continuously influenced by a complex interplay of individual agency and social structure. The study of society expands to the domains of health, economy, education, military and science. However, at its core, the field is focused on the study of culture, criminality and punishment, economy, family, gender and sexuality, health and illness, peace, war and conflict, etc. Sociological study and research is vital for educators, policy makers, legislators, non-profit organizations and non-governmental organizations, social workers and anyone with the inclination to resolve or address social issues. The central problems of sociological theory are concerned with the way to transcend, link or cope with the dichotomies of structure and agency, subjectivity and objectivity, and synchrony and diachrony. Modern sociological studies are advanced by the adoption of hermeneutic, philosophic and interpretive techniques as well as analytic, computational and mathematical approaches to the study of society and culture. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the field of sociology. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies have been included in this book. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this book targets students and professionals.
