What is culture? How do beliefs and values from various cultures affect individuals and society?

This elective is designed to provide students with the study of society and culture. Students learn to collaborate effectively through group projects, while also participating in independent field studies that allow them to simulate the work of the sociologist. The society of the U.S. and societies around the world are compared. There is extensive reflective writing as well as class discussions, with emphasis on developing and practicing empathy.
