Studying sociology plays a key role in understanding the social influences that make individuals who they are and govern how they function within society. It also gives insight into how people take action and make changes that affect tolerance and acceptance of one another, and how they prepare for the technological, environmental, and societal changes to come.
Through the study of a wide range of social issues and research, students will be provided with information that can be used to develop and refine their sociological perspective to better understand how current events that shape the way society is structured.
The course introduces students to the key theories, themes, and concepts in the discipline of sociology and helps them to develop as a sociologist by providing comprehensive coverage of all the main areas of study. Presenting them with the history, current debates and recent research developments for each topic. This course covers classical sociologies and traditional subjects such as class, families, and religion, as well as progressive areas like digital society, social media, migration, and the interconnectedness of our modern global society.
