The sociology of emotions examines how feelings are shaped by social interactions, cultural norms, and societal structures. It explores how emotions are expressed and interpreted in different contexts, such as family, workplaces, and communities. This field investigates the role of emotions in social relationships, how they influence behavior, and how society shapes what we feel and how we show it. By understanding emotions through a social lens, we can better grasp their impact on human behavior and social dynamics.
