Sociologists have the task of discovering how social factors modify/modifies biology, particularly to determine how "different" becomes translated into "unequal." Sociologists study the society, patterns of social relationships and social interaction. This includes also how these relationships influence biology as a whole.
1- To me, psychology means the discipline that tries to explain human behavior and its complexities.
2- That is easy to major in psychology but one has to read a lot to do so. That being insightful is needed if you want to pursue a career in this field.
3- Not really. Usually, in Tv and movies psychologist are portraited as Psychoanalysts or therapists. In real life, the field of the psychologist is broader and not everything is about psychotherapy.
4- That is a magical solution, that the therapists only listen to your problems and they magically disappear, that is easy, that is magical, that hypnosis work 100% of the time. That "shrinks" are crazier than their patients, that having a mental illness means that you are an aggressive person, and so on. Media either glamorizes or stigmatizes the figure of the psychotherapist.
