SOC 460 - America in a Global Society

Institution:

University of Michigan-Ann Arbor

Subject:

Description:

Social changes in America are studied from an internal and an external perspective. The internal dynamics of social change emphasize the role of social movement, e.g., the impact of the civil rights movement on American culture and politics. The external perspective sees America as part of a changing global society. The development of the capitalist world system from its origin in Western Europe to its present global reach is examined. Contemporary American social problems are examined in relation to America's position in a rapidly changing world. Students cannot receive credit for both SOC 460 and SOC 560.
