Both macro and micro sociological theory are discussed, as well as methods of sociological inquiry, culture, socialization, deviance, social change, and social stratification — particularly in the areas of social class, race and ethnicity, and gender. Students are highly encouraged to complete Sociology 1 or 1s prior to enrolling in other sociology courses. This course requires students to engage in learning outside the classroom in conjunction with various community-based organizations. Students may earn credit for either SOCIOL 1 or 1 S but not both. Only SOCIOL 1 S fulfills the Santa Monica College Global Citizenship requirement.
