Why do we do what we do? Why do we consider different behaviors acceptable or criminal? Sociology is the study of group behavior, and how we come to be who we are in the world. This class examines the origins of the youngest social science and actively participates in the different forms of sociological research. Students will dive deeper into how our early lives are shaped by both natural and environmental factors. We will look to explain why deviant behavior means different things to different societies. Movies, class discussions, and certain TV programs are used to examine the Theoretical Perspectives and their connections with our social lives.
