Sociology :
Introduction :
Sociology is a Social Science. There is a difference between Science and Social Science. We live in a society with full of social and natural calamities. It is not in the hands of common man to control the situation.
The study of social problems should be without personal bias. The proper applications of scientific principles are necessary. So Sociology is a Science which tackles problems by using Scientific methods. Science asks us to find out the actual sequence of the incidents and their interrelation. Sociology studies the incidents in a systematic way.
In a society we interact with human beings. So it is the duty of Sociology to understand human interactions. Society is united on the basis of Social relationships. Individuals learn the culture and aspects of social life by social processes. This process of socialization changes the raw human being into a social being. A teacher should build a noble person for future society through sociology. He teaches students to behave to be responsible persons with humanity. Education provides various experiences to the students. These experiences set the students to understand society and to adopt social conditions in a desirable manner.
Applied sociology includes various practical uses of Sociology in planning, adjustment with the changing time, preparing welfare programme, removal of illiteracy, corruption, communalization, exploitation etc. The students are expected to study environmental issues, modernization, population education, Sanskritization, globalization with other social factors.
The course prepared for standard XI and XII would certainly serve as a foundation course in Humanities.
