Description:

This introductory sociology course begins with an examination of globalization and social inequality in the U.S. from both a microsociological and macrosociological perspective. We then explore the "rationalization" of social andeconomic life and the social dimensions of consumerism. The course invites students to develop their "sociological imagination" byattempting to link their lives as workers and consumers to broader social and economic forces at work in the contemporary world.
