"Society, however, cannot be regarded as composed of individuals. The true social unit is the family; it is essentially on the plan of the family that society is constructed."
- Auguste Comte
Sociology is a science that seeks to understand the different ways individuals, groups and institutions interact to shape our lives. The goal of this class is to provide a survey of Sociology and apply sociological concepts to the modern world we live in. A major focus of the class will be to look at human behavior and how groups develop, function, and adapt.
