Sociologists investigate the structure of societies, organisations and groups. Their subject matter ranges from the intimacy of the family, the criminal gang, activities at the rugby game and rock festival, through to divisions of ethnicity, gender and class. This involves study, discussion, analysis, critique and debate about how people, cultures, societies and ideas interact and impact upon each other.
