EDP, SS- This course explores fundamental sociological principles and seeks to describe individuals in both group and societal contexts. Students will learn to use the sociological imagination as a lens through which to view and experience the world. Students will learn about sociological theory and research methods, and apply these to the basic subject matter of sociology: Human interaction, social institutions and structures, culture, socialization, social inequality, deviance, social control, and social and cultural change. The goals of this course are to stimulate interest in sociology and to encourage the recognition of its practical value.
