Sociology is the study of human society, social interactions, and institutions. It explores how individuals and groups influence and are influenced by social structures, cultures, and norms. As a course, sociology provides insights into topics such as social behavior, inequality, race and ethnicity, gender, family, education, politics, and the economy. It examines how societies evolve, how power and resources are distributed, and how social change occurs over time. Students learn about key sociological theories, research methods, and real-world applications of sociological concepts. The course encourages critical thinking and analytical skills by examining social issues and problems, helping students understand the complexities of human relationships and societal dynamics. Sociology also intersects with other disciplines such as psychology, anthropology, and political science, making it a valuable field for those interested in social justice, policy-making, and community development.
