Welcome |
|
Sociology is the study of human groups, organizations and
societies and the patterns of similarity and difference among
them. We will also be “doing” sociology; exploring our everyday
social worlds and the often invisible or taken-for-granted
social forces that shape it. Sociology is an elective academic
class but it is not a class for “slackers”. It a class for
thinkers who like to discuss and understand important issues
from our life, our culture, and our world. There will be daily
reading and frequent written assignments as well as projects and
field work.
