Abstract
Catalog Description: Scientific description of the regularities and patterns of behavior that characterize our society and the larger global environment. Sociological analyses of the social forces that affect our daily lives.
Detailed Description: This course provides an introduction to sociology as a social science. Using a variety of theoretical perspectives and analytic approaches, we will examine patterns of social behavior and the social institutions which both influence and are influenced by such behavior. In addition to exploring social institutions and human behavior, we will explore culture, social status, and the various levels and forms of social organization that characterize society. In addition, this course will introduce the central concepts and theoretical perspectives of a number of subfields of sociology that can form the foundation for more in-depth future explorations of social phenomena.
