Sociology is the study of society and the relationship between individuals in society.
Sociology was first introduced in Indonesia in the 1950s by Soerjono Soekanto.
Initially, sociology is better known as a science that resembles the science of history and philosophy, but has now developed into a more applied science.
Some famous sociological figures in Indonesia include Soerjono Soekanto, Koentjaraningrat, and Mubyarto.
Sociology is very important in understanding the social problems that exist in Indonesia, such as poverty, social inequality, and conflict between ethnicities.
Many Indonesian sociologists are involved in social and political movements, such as Gus Dur, Soe Hok Gie, and Budiman Sudjatmiko.
Sociology also plays an important role in developing public policy, such as education, health and social protection policies.
One of the fields of sociology that is developing in Indonesia is environmental sociology, which studies interactions between humans and their environment.
Some universities in Indonesia that have sociology majors include the University of Indonesia, Gadjah Mada University, and Airlangga University.
Sociology is a very interesting and useful science for anyone who wants to understand the complex social world around it.
