Read the following passage and answer the following questions:

The scope of sociological study is extremely wide. It can focus its analysis of interactions between individuals such as that of a shopkeeper with a customer, between teachers and students, between two friends or family members. It can likewise focus on national issues such as unemployment or caste conflict or the effect of state policies on forest rights of the tribal population or rural indebtedness. Or examine global social processes such as: the ipact of new flexible labour regulations on the working class: or that of the electronic media on the young; or the entry of foreign universities on the education system of the country. What defines the discipline of sociology is therefore not just what it studies (i.e family or trade unions or villages) but how it studies a chosen field.

Sociological study of globalisation will involve _________.

Study of the relationship between public policies and individual/ groups life

The correct answer is Option (2) → Study of the relationship between public policies and individual/ groups life

Option 2 : Study of the relationship between public policies and individual/ groups life. Globalization significantly influences public policies at national and international levels, and these policies, in turn, shape the lives of individuals and groups. This option touches upon a crucial aspect of the sociological study of globalization, which examines the interplay between global forces and local responses, often mediated through public policy.

Why not the others?

• Option 1: This is a part of it, but not the full sociological scope.

• Option 3: That’s more the realm of international relations or political science.

• Option 4: Technological change is relevant, but the sociological focus is on its impact on social life, not technology itself.
