Sociologists look at collective behavior as the actions of ordinary people who are responding to extraordinary situations.

This means that sociology involves the investigation of how "ordinary people" or the masses (rather than just the elite minority, celebrities, politicians, etc.) behave as a whole (collectively) rather than on an individual case-by-case basis.
