Course Description
Sociology is the academic discipline concerned with the systematic investigation and understanding of human action and interaction.This broad definition includes everything from the actions,attitudes and beliefs of individual persons to the structures and cultures of entire societies and global regions.Sociologists study all manner of topics,from race relations to sports to religious rituals to immigration patterns (and many other things as well),and they do so through large-scale surveys,interviews,participant observation,documentary analysis and other means of measurement.What unites such a diverse set of interests,methods and units of analysis is a common perspective.In the simplest terms,sociology is concerned with the contextual understanding of human behavior,where the context is relational,cultural, institutional,historical,or (most commonly)some combination of these.The course is structured into six major substantive areas:1)the basic principles and questions of the discipline; 2)how new members are socialized into the culture of their social worlds;3)the relationship between individuals and the groups they belong to;4)major institutions of society including work,the family,education and religion;5)key dimensions of inequality in society,including class,and gender;and 6)processes of social change.
