What is the main purpose of Sociology?

  1. To decrease the gap between classes

  2. To understand social behavior

  3. To improve understanding of diverse cultures

  4. To explain economic development

The correct answer is: To understand social behavior

Sociology is the study of social behavior and the ways in which society influences individuals and groups. While aspects of sociology may contribute to closing the gap between social classes and promoting understanding of diverse cultures, these are not the primary or exclusive purpose of sociology. Similarly, while sociology may inform our understanding of economics and development, this is not its main purpose. The main purpose of sociology is to examine and understand social behavior and the impact of society on individuals and groups.
