Why is the study of sociology necessary?

Question

I realize this is a very broad question, but in general, why is this science necessary?

Answer 1

To study society. Since we are all part of it, we need to know what it is really.

Also because a natural science really doesn't cut it. It doesn't take into account the subjectivity in this world, the people in this world, the communities and so on. Its about matter, and physics, and manipulative objects, not about complex structures that go in the making of humans.
