    Description
    This course is designed for students with an interest in the discipline of sociology, or anyone who wants to further their understanding of human group behavior and the organization of society. Using several theoretical points of view, students study and analyze the organization of social life; problems of inequality, including age, sex, race and ethnicity, social class, and lifestyle; the basic social institutions of family, religion, and economics; and global issues related to technology, social movements, and social change.
