Institution:

King's College - Pennsylvania

Subject:

Sociology

Description:

This course surveys the major social, cultural, economic, political, and historical dynamics of pervasive and emerging social problems in our interconnected local, national, and global society. Together we will explore how and why certain social issues, processes, and outcomes are determined to be problematic for society; as well as why others are not seen or understood as problematic. Potential topics include global and local manifestations of inequality; demographic challenges of fertility, migration, and urbanization; global health systems and problems of access, cost, and chronic disease; the changing economics of food and water; ethnic and religious conflict; and environmental issues of pollution, desertification, and climate change. This course was previously listed as SOC 212.
