Sociology

Sociology, the study of human social interactions and behaviors. It originates from the Latin word socius meaning "companion". This science was first labeled as such by French philosopher, Auguste Comte in 1838. Despite this, he is not known to be the first sociologist. That title goes to Ibn Khaldun, a North African Arab scholar in the 14 century. His work, Muqadimmah, is believed to be the first to advance social-scientific thoughts on social cohesion as well as social conflict. Ibn Khaldun's revolutionary writings became the roots to modern day sociology and all of its many branches.
