Fall 2018

Course Description and Objective:

This course provides an overview of the discipline of sociology.  Sociologists study society, meaning human social groups, through a variety of research methods.  Students of this course will learn about many groups, here in the USA, and in many other places in the world, and will develop the sociological skills involved in identifying the ways in which people act as part of social forces.  Students will be encouraged to reconsider that which they feel they already know about society based upon “common sense.”
