I read this on a sociology site

Understanding the real world
Sociology...
- ...means thinking critically about the world around us, looking beneath the surface to explore the social and political context that shapes our lives
- ...is for students who are curious and open-minded, willing to critically examine the collective ideas, shared behaviours and social forces that shape our everyday lives, and explore societies and cultures different from our own
- ...stimulates the 'sociological imagination', cultivating the intellectual, moral and creative capacities that make for active and engaged citizens
