I perform in Bay Area community musical theater, primarily as a dancer. I am a member of the Cosmopolitan Dancers with the Broadway Chorus in Pleasanton where I perform with the group twice a year. You can talk to me in person during my office hours, send an e-mail, or leave me a voice mail message anytime. I will get back to you as soon as I can. I hope you find this class to be interesting and informative and that it helps to meet your educational goals.
Sociology is a fascinating subject for many reasons.
First, it impacts all of our lives, but very often we are not aware of it. Another objective of this course is to make you aware of the specifics of how society impacts your life and how you impact society. You will also be exploring issues of different levels of interaction between two people all the way up to levels of interaction between nations. Those interactions take place within social institutions, that is, social organizations developed to take care of specific societal needs. As part of this course you will gain a better understanding of this concept in general, as well as, exploring some of the aspects of specific institutions, such as the family, religion, the mass media, the government, and the economy.
