    Description
    This course explains how society shapes people's lives and how individual behavior is largely shaped by the groups to which we belong. The course investigates the structure and function of groups, organizations, and societies, and how people interact within these contexts. Since all human behavior is social, the subject matter of sociology is vast, ranging from the intimate family to the hostile mob; from organized crime to religious cults; from the division of race, gender and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture; and from the sociology of work to the sociology of the media. Credit in either SOC 1 or 1H, but not both. C-ID: SOCI 110
