Explanation:

Sociological perspective and point of view are focused on the society as the whole and the community, instead of one person's individual perspective. As such, it tends to study how the views, rules, and patterns of the community and group affect one own’s ideas and beliefs. Sociology sees how patterns and values of society affect one's life, as well as how the person functions as a part of the system and adds up to it.

Sociology studies individuals as parts of the system and the bearer of values and ideas. Therefore, the sociological perspective is viewing people more as a part of the group and based on the similarities, than as separate factors based on their differences.
