This is a term coined by Michael Burawoy as a way of providing solutions to social problems. Goals are usually defined by a client, which could be the government . Policy sociology provides instrumental knowledge, that is, knowledge that can be used to solve or help a specific case in the social world . According to Burawoy, the information gathered from policy sociology is open to an extra academic audience. It is not confined to academic boundaries. The findings of policy sociology research are likely to have an effect on the general public as they could have an impact on government policy.

Studying the sociology of art throughout history is the study of the social history of art , how various societies contributed to the appearance of certain artists. In her 1970 book Meaning and Expression Toward a Sociology of Art , Hanna Deinhard gives these defining features of a sociology of art page 3 The point of departure of the sociology of art is the question How is it possible that works of art, which always originate as products of human activity within a particular time and society and for a particular time, society, or function even though they are not necessarily produced as works of art can live beyond their time and seem expressive and meaningful in completely different epochs and societies?

sociology Rural sociology is a field of sociology associated with the study of social life in non metropolitan area s. It is the scientific study of social arrangements and behaviour amongst people distanced from points of concentrated population or economic activity. Like any sociological discipline, rural sociology involves the examination of statistics statistical data, interviews, social theory , observation, survey research, and many other techniques. In contrast to rural sociology, urban sociology is the study of urban social life. Agribusiness is one focus of rural sociology and much of the field is dedicated to the economics of agriculture farm production . Other areas of study include rural migration and other demography demographic patterns , environmental sociology , resort town amenity led development , public lands policies, so called boomtown development, social disruption , the sociology of natural resources, rural health care and education polices, etc. Definition of rural Sociologists define rural as those areas which are not city urban in nature. The line between urban and rural is quite arbitrary, although rural sociologists in America often use the U.S. Census Bureau s definition of rural as being an area of fewer than 1000 people per square mile. http www.census.gov geo www ua ua 2k.html The 2000 Census reported that rural America was home to nearly 21 of the U.S. population 59,274,000 people . http www.fhwa.dot.gov planning census cps2k.htm Recent research has examined the rural and the urban as linked parts of a dialectical discourse. ref Griffiths, Michael ... .
