    Sociology is defined as the scientific study of human society and social interactions. It originated from thinkers seeking rational explanations for social phenomena, with Auguste Comte establishing it as a distinct field. The document outlines key sociological thinkers like Durkheim, Marx, and Weber and their varying perspectives. It also presents major sociological theories - structural functionalism examines institutions working cooperatively; symbolic interactionism focuses on interaction through symbols; and conflict theory sees society as comprised of constant power struggles. The document concludes by distinguishing macro-level analysis of large-scale social patterns versus micro-level analysis of specific social interactions.
