SOC 362 - Becoming "American"

Institution:

Northeastern Illinois University

Subject:

Sociology

Description:

Becoming "American" is not exclusively about American citizenship. Rather, it is about understanding how changes in American society influence our social policies and vice versa. Each week the course will focus on different social policies and raise questions about their consequences on social groups and the possibilities for change. By learning how social policy develops, students will have the tools to examine current social debates that often polarize Americans into "us versus them."
