Sociology is a one semester course intended to give a broad picture of the field of sociology. The course will offer you a set of intellectual tools with which to more accurately understand the society in which you live. This course illustrates how the groups, or social structures, that one belongs to have a profound influence on the way you think, feel, and act. Sociology looks at groups rather than individuals. Major themes include deviance and social control, inequalities of gender and age, family and marriage, and social issues surrounding modern sport. The only prerequisite for this class is that the student is an upperclassmen. (Due to the pace and amount of information covered.)
