Description:

(3 Hours) This is an introductory course in sociology. We will cover the basic principles of sociological theoretical perspectives, theo- ries, and research methods. In this course students will learn how culture patterns societies and social interaction and how those patterns are transmitted through socialization and so- cial interaction. Other important areas of study will be social stratification systems, social institution, and collective be- haviors. The course will culminate in an investigation of social change and the various explanations of social change. The central mission of this course, then, is to offer the student insights into how social forces shape us and how we shape social forces.
