Which of the following topics is NOT a topic studied by sociologists?

  1. Social networks

  2. Education

  3. Weather patterns

  4. Inequality

The correct answer is: Weather patterns

Sociologists are primarily interested in studying human behavior and social interactions. Option A, social networks, and option B, education, both relate to this topic as they involve understanding how individuals interact and learn within society. Option D, inequality, also falls within the scope of sociological research as it involves examining issues of power and privilege within society. Option C, weather patterns, is not a topic typically studied by sociologists as it relates more to natural sciences, such as meteorology. Although weather may indirectly impact social behavior, it is not a primary focus of sociological research.
