SOC 560 - America in a Global Society

Institution:

University of Michigan-Dearborn

Subject:

Sociology

Description:

Social studies in America are studied from an internal and an external perspective. The internal dynamics of social change emphasize the role of social movements, 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 origins 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. Additional reading assignments or projects will distinguish this course from its undergraduate version SOC 460. Students cannot receive credit for both SOC 460 and SOC 560. (OC)
