Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The course will introduce students to sociology. Students will finish with basic knowledge on the sources of social conflict and cooperation. They will have acquired critical thinking skills and a broad range of analytical tools for examining society and human interactions.

Course Content:

Sociology is the systematic study of human society and social life. This course will introduce students to sociology by stimulating their “sociological imagination” around the following questions: How are human actions patterned? Where does the source of social conflict and cooperation lie? What are the social processes that influence the ways in which humans think, feel, and behave? How can human beings develop the will to shape the social forces they face? Students will be introduced to key sociological theories (e.g. structural functionalism, the social-conflict approach, symbolic interactionism, feminism).
