Sociology is the study of human society, social behavior, and interactions among individuals, groups, and institutions. It explores how social structures, cultures, and norms shape people’s actions, beliefs, and identities. The course examines various aspects of society, including family, education, politics, economy, religion, and media, analyzing how these elements influence social relationships and societal development. It also investigates social inequalities, such as those based on class, race, gender, and ethnicity, aiming to understand their causes and impacts. Through theoretical perspectives and research methods, sociology provides insights into social change, human behavior, and the complexities of modern societies. The discipline incorporates both qualitative and quantitative approaches to study patterns, trends, and issues, helping students develop critical thinking and analytical skills. By applying sociological theories and concepts to real-world problems, the course encourages a deeper understanding of social dynamics and the factors that shape human experiences.
