sociology

Mert has been studying sociology at university and often spends an hour in the small park near his home to watch how people greet each other . He notices that older neighbors are usually greeted first and that children are included in group conversations . Although the park is simple and not large , it is used every day by different age groups , which makes his observations richer . If the city added more benches , visitors would probably stay longer and talk more , he thinks . These everyday moments are recorded in his notebook and help him understand social habits in a quiet , ordinary setting .
