Finding background information on your subject is helpful before you dive into subject specific databases. Credo Reference (link below) is a great place to start to gather ideas for keywords.
Sociology is a large topic so you'll want to consider what aspect of sociology you are interested in researching. In the Humanities section of Credo Reference (when you first enter the database) you'll find various popular topics: minimum wage, social inequality, violence in the workplace, racial profiling, human rights, gun control, and many more.
You can also do a search for sociology to get background information from encyclopedias, on the subject of sociology as a whole.
