This course provides a broad overview of the discipline of Sociology.
Sociology is the social science devoted to the study of human society and social relations.
Addressing topics such as social inequality, race-ethnicity, gender, deviance, the family, education, work and politics, sociologists examine the social forces that shape our lives. Data analysis and interpretation will be introduced. Students will conduct both individual and group research projects. Required for department majors. We must recognize that there is a vast amount of empirical research being presented by the popular and professional media, and much of this research is germane to decisions we make in our professions and in our personal life.
