The subject matter of sociology is significant for the social workers in the following ways:
Sociology studies different patterns of interactions of individuals and groups whereas social work focuses on the solutions of the problems of these individuals and groups of the society.

Thus in order to solve the problems having roots in traditions, cultures and norms, social workers try to understand the social roles and expectations of individuals with the help of Sociology.
