Macrosociology is a level of sociological investigation that concentrates on large-scale social phenomena, broad social structures, systems, and processes, or entire civilisations, rather than focusing on interactions between individuals or small groups. It aims to understand the big picture of society, examining how institutions, social hierarchies, and global patterns shape social life and individual experiences. Examples of topics studied in macrosociology include the state, the economy, social class systems, globalisation, social change on a large scale, and the relationships between different societies. Major theoretical perspectives in macrosociology include functionalism and conflict theory, which both analyse society at a broad level. This approach provides a framework for understanding the overarching forces and structures that influence social behaviour and outcomes.
