Social workers apply sociological principles in real-world settings to help individuals and communities overcome challenges, addressing issues like poverty, mental health, and family problems.
Sociology helps in public policy by offering data-driven insights into social problems, informing policymakers about societal needs, and suggesting evidence-based solutions for social issues like inequality, crime, and education.
Cultural relativism is the view that cultural norms and values should be understood in their own context, rather than judged against the standards of another culture. This perspective helps understand how different family structures impact societal behavior across various cultures.
In the workplace, sociologists can analyze organizational structures, work culture, employee relations, and job satisfaction, applying sociological insights to improve productivity and worker well-being.
Sociological theories offer frameworks for understanding the root causes of social problems like crime and poverty, including structural inequalities, economic conditions, and social policies, which can inform strategies for addressing these issues.
