SO 346 - Exploring Central America: Methodology and Comparative Sociology

Institution:

Whitworth University

Subject:

Description:

Sociological methods and concepts will be used in a comparative study of Central American and U.S. society and culture. Ethnography will be a beginning place for developing cross-cultural understanding. The field setting will make it possible for tentative explanations of behavior to be tested and modified (and, perhaps, discarded) on a daily basis. Openness to a wide variety of points of view and to contradictory data will require the development of critical-thinking skills. Every third spring semester in Central America. Prerequisite: SO 307.
