Explanation:

Sociology builds upon theories developed by key authors :

Auguste Comte, Emilie Durkheim, Karl Marx, Pareto, Spencer, etc.

They first studied the nature of the individual and its relation to a social group.

As groups coming together to survive, a society forms, and relationships with individuals and social groups often is increasingly complex.

As time passes, societies will evolve, or perish, and so social change occurs as time and circumstances mostly based on the production needs and demands (would Marx argue) to lead to further social changes.

The social order arises as labor becomes specialized, and thus the main focus of sociologists is how the social order forms and changes, its power dynamics and so on.

The social change occurs inevitably because society is often portrayed to a living organism that experiences changes in the environments and needs to adapt, transforming and ultimately evolving.
