Sociology

Course description

Are you interested in furthering your understanding of human behavior? If you are the type of person who is fascinated by the behavior of others, the type who is truly interested in what is going on in the world, then Sociology should interest you. Exposure to Sociology opens our minds, prompts us to review the taken-for-granted, and encourages us to entertain alternatives. Sociology studies groups of people and the society they are a part of. This course uses documentaries to analyze cultural norms and their potential causes. Sociology will analyze the role of culture, gender roles, social stratification, deviance, crime, and racism on our society. This course serves as a good introduction to the study of Sociology and will give you a solid foundation if you choose to take a Sociology course at the college level.
