- Class Description:
- This course explores how social relationships, or interactions between human beings, have influenced (and continue to influence) our lives and the world around us. We will examine some of society's most pressing problems in detail, seeking to identify the social forces involved in creating them. Throughout the course, you will be asked to consider how society affects your life and how, in turn, your own actions affect the society around you. Sociology offers students a wide array of topics and approaches that equip the curious mind to understand the surrounding world. Because the analytical skills and approaches we develop can be applied to all kinds of relationships between human beings, learning sociology will equip you to think critically about almost any situation. In providing a new way to see and understand the world, sociology prepares you to be a better thinker in school, in family life, and in the workplace. Furthermore, because sociology explores the social conditions that enable and constrain the courses of action that any individual can take, it is often at the forefront of identifying and proposing solutions for major forms of inequality and injustice.
