Answer:

The answer is "Ethnomethodology"

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethnomethodology uses to understand social order. It refers to the way how people make sense of the things that happen on an everyday basis, by using practical reasoning and not using formal logic. Ethnomethodology studies the way people as rational actors, use social interaction to continue to have an active process of sense of reality.
