CONT

Rural sociology is historically defined as the sociological study of social organization and processes that are characteristic of rural societies and geographical areas where population densities are relatively low. In practice, modern rural sociology is considerably more comprehensive than the study of rural societies. As rural societies do not exist in isolation, rural sociology increasingly addresses the relationships between rural society and society as a whole and within the global economy and society.
