Welcome to c/sociology!
Sociology is a social science that focuses on society, human social behavior, patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and aspects of culture associated with everyday life. In simple words sociology is the scientific study of society. It uses various methods of empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop a body of knowledge about social order and social change. While some sociologists conduct research that may be applied directly to social policy and welfare, others focus primarily on refining the theoretical understanding of social processes and phenomenological method. Subject matter can range from micro-level analyses of society (i.e. of individual interaction and agency) to macro-level analyses (i.e. of social systems and social structure). Read more...

MODERATORS
There was a stereotype in my country along the lines of US-Americans censoring / R-Rating boobs to death, but allowing extreme violence prime time. Maybe it had a kernel of truth.
I'm actually more enraged by the 'Spanking children' entry.
I'm not sure I can trust the moral judgment of those who attribute any moral alignment to consuming a leaf.
I wanna bet half the candidates had no clue what IVF was.
Every optional survey like this has incredible skew for people with free time and opinions they feel the need to share. In the US, that skew is old retired people, who typically lean religious, conservative, and capitalist. The 90% of people who hang up when cold called are not represented well.
Where the fuck did they run this survey, alabama? This is some backwards shit.
Fuck me. Yes to deliberate death penalty, no to voluntary death choice. Fucking rapists, the lot of em.
And some of y'all think a civil war is a bad idea because it will kill so many Americans.
backward shithole
Barbaric.
