Description:

This course is an introduction to understanding what sociology is about. It explores the discipline through an examination of sociological questions, concepts and ways of analyzing social life. The focus is on how human societies organize themselves; how culture, socialization, norms, values, power relations, social institutions and group interaction affect the individual; and how, in turn, societies are transformed by human action. Of particular concern are the problems facing contemporary societies. Students are expected to confirm their understanding of these basic sociological concepts about the social world. This course is a prerequisite for many of our other sociology courses. Fall, Spring.
