Sociology is the scientific study of the individual and group behavior within society. A standard textbook approach emphasizes several theoretical approaches to understanding human behavior; however, there are four main approaches: Structural-Functionalism, Social-Conflict, Symbolic-Interactionalism and Feminism. Post- Modernism is also a theoretical perspective characteristic of Sociology, though not often deemed a major perspective is nonetheless a field of study of concentration, with extensive roots in the sociological tradition of research and understanding human behavior. Sociologists emphasize the dynamic interplay between social structures that influence our experience and the intentional actions of actors that reproduce and sometimes transform those social structures
