What do Sociologists do?
A sociologist analyzes various groups of a business, social, and religious nature and analyzes how humans interact within them. Specifics that they look for in these groups are the behaviors of the people in them, their origin and growth if they are an older organization, and the influence the group has on the individuals. Others ways to collect information on human interaction is to conduct surveys or interviews. Sociologists report their findings in research papers and publications for other sociologists to examine. A sociologist may also find themselves teaching at a high school or college level.
