Sociology is the scientific study of the social relations, which people develop in their interactions with one another. Special attention is given to the causes and consequences of these interactions within the frameworks of group, social, and cultural environments. Applying social theory to the study of social issues, the course examines such topics as lifestyles, role identities, life crises, cultural and social environments, and social deviancy. This core social studies course will help students understand how personal, cultural, social, and psychological attitudes towards self and others affect our society.
