Program Summary
Sociology and Anthropology as a course explore human society, culture, and social behavior from different but complementary perspectives. Sociology focuses on the structures, patterns, and institutions that shape human interactions, such as family, education, politics, and economy. It examines how social forces influence individual and group behavior, inequality, and social change. Anthropology, on the other hand, studies humanity in a broader context, emphasizing cultural diversity, human evolution, languages, and traditions across different societies and historical periods. It often involves ethnographic fieldwork to understand how people live, think, and relate to their environments. Together, these disciplines provide a deep understanding of human life, fostering critical thinking, research skills, and cross-cultural awareness that can be applied in various careers, including social work, education, international development, and policy-making.
