“What distinguishes Social Work from Sociology?”

"Sociology examines societal structures behaviors and patterns through theoretical and empirical analysis focusing on understanding social systems. In contrast social work applies this knowledge practically to address individual and community needs promoting well-being through interventions like counseling and advocacy. Sociology provides the theoretical foundation while social work translates it into actionable solutions such as poverty reduction or family support. This distinction highlights their complementary roles in advancing social justice and improving lives with sociology informing social work’s practical applications."
