Sociology, to me, began with psychology. I am a big psychology fan and it is what I seem to draw to. With psychology usually only pertaining to one person, the individual. Sociology is more groups of people like trends or demographics. Sociology is more about groups as a whole and psychology is simply the individual within the society. Sociology and psychology both lead to the sociological perspective. The sociological perspective is human behavior and its connection to society as a whole. There are connections between one's behaviors and the society they live in. Each society has their own sociological perspective because of the differences each society claims as their norms.

Society can be extremely useful in terms of grouping and understanding ourselves as well as other people. It makes in easier to talk about groups of people and their behaviors. Sociology allows us to learn about each other which can create opportunities to help one another. It gives us the understanding of why people do what they do.The benefits of the sociological perspective are that it helps us to recognize the diversity humans have and to allows for the understanding of the challenges of living in a diverse world. Also, the sociological standpoint allows us to have a better understanding of ourselves. Understanding ourselves is the gateway to understanding everyone else.

Sociology can be used in so many different ways other than in the classroom. Sociology helps develop one's appreciation of diversity and knowledge base about human behavior, culture, and social change. It helps us look more objectively at our society and other societies.
