Social theory.

Social theory is an academic term that refers to the models and frameworks used to study and interpret social facts and events. Although it is often related to the discipline of sociology, social theory is an interdisciplinary field that draws from multiple academic disciplines. As an interdisciplinary approach, social theory explores a broad range of social phenomena, such as human culture, the development and changes of a society, power and social structures, social behavior, intercultural dynamics, social and political transformation, public health issues, gender, class, and ethnicity, among others. The results from studies in the field of social theory are social methods and frameworks that cross a wide spectrum of disciplines, including critical theory, political science, economics, sociology, psychology, anthropology, marketing, and many others. Today, social theory remains connected to a methodology of sociological systematic analysis but is far from a unified academic endeavor.
