Sociology is the science whose object is to interpret the meaning of social action. Sociologists explain the ways in which social action takes place and the effects it produces in society. Society is the product of interactions between individuals controlled by social customs and traditions. The focus of sociology has been social stratification, social bond, social class, social construction of gender, social mobility, social movements, and deviant behavior. Careers in sociology offer a satisfying life experience. Action theory views social action as something purposively shaped by individuals within a context to which they have given meaning. Action theory approach has its foundations in Max Weber's interpretive theory which claims that it is necessary to know the subjective purpose and intent of the actor before an observer can understand the meaning of social action. Modernization theory is a theory of social and economic development, following functionalism or consensus perspective assumptions, that societies need to have harmony among their component parts. Social control theory attempts to explain why most people are law-abiding? Social control theory explains the many ways in which social control works in family, schools, work situations, and even in conscience. Social control ranges from gossip and ridicule to imprisonment and execution. Social contract theory is used to suggest that a group of self-interested and rational individuals came together and formed a contract which created society.
