Sociology emerged in the 19th century as an academic response to one of the greatest paradoxes of modernity: as the world is becoming smaller and more integrated, people's experience of the world is increasingly atomized and dispersed.
Today sociologists research macro-structures that organize society, such as race or ethnicity, class and gender, and institutions such as the family; social processes that represent deviation from, or the breakdown of, these structures, including crime and divorce; and micro-processes such as interpersonal interactions.
Sociologists often rely on quantitative methods to describe large patterns in social relationships, and in order to develop models that can help predict social change and how people will respond to social change.

 Sociology - Crystalinks
Sociologists study society and social behavior by examining the groups and social institutions people form, as well as various social, religious, political, and business organizations.
Sociologists are concerned with the characteristics of social groups, organizations, and institutions; the ways individuals are affected by each other and by the groups to which they belong; and the effect of social traits such as sex, age, or race on a person¹s daily life.
Today, sociologists research micro-structures that organize society, such as race or ethnicity, social class, gender roles, and institutions such as the family; social processes that represent deviation from, or the breakdown of, these structures, including crime and divorce; and micro-processes such as interpersonal interactions and the socialization of individuals.

 F. Buttel. Environmental Sociology
It has often been observed that the majority of the earliest contributors to contemporary environmental sociology were either self-identified rural sociologists, or else sociologists who worked in cognate specialty areas (especially the sociology of development and community studies) and who interacted frequently with rural sociologists.
A brief list of the pioneers of environmental sociology during the 1960s and early 1970s who were rural sociologists includes scholars such as D. Morrison, D. Field, R. Burdge, S. Albrecht, and W. Andrews.
Thus, ironically, the representatives of the classical tradition that are most often criticized by environmental sociologists for their "exemptionalism" (i.e., Marxism and Durkheimianism) share a certain ontological background with the core of environmental sociology.

A: Like virtually all other academic disciplines, sociologists try to get their work published in academic journals in an effort to add another publication to their list of credentials (otherwise known as a "curriculum vitae" or just "vita").
