Sociology is a study of how people act in groups, either small units (families) or large ones (companies, mass riots, nations, and so on).

I've studied a few areas of sociology in college, and if you're turned off by the individualistic and penis-centric state of psychology, you will probably find sociology a lot more interesting.

Cool stuff:

• You get to study experiments where people get shocked by electricity
• You get to read about riots
• Sociology classes usually have at least a few hot chicks trying to complete their core requirements (^_-)

Bad stuff:

• If you're not fairly liberal, sociology will tend to annoy you. It puts the LIBERAL in liberal social sciences.
• Also, you'll occasionally get conservative pricks who think they're better than everyone else - they can really ruin an otherwise good sociology class, causing pointless debates and arguments over nothing and going nowhere.
