What will be an ideal response


Human ecology describes how people adapt to their environment and explains a great deal about personal motivations for success, failure, crime, delinquency, and other social phenomenon. Human ecology is of interest to sociologists because it helps explain group behavior and offers a means by which to test theories related to behavior and environment. Human ecology is also called urban ecology and is used to explain population movement between the city and rural areas.
