Sociology

This course illustrates how the groups, or social structures, that one belongs to have a profound influence on the way you think, feel, and act. Major themes include deviance, crime and social control; social stratification, race and ethnic stratification; gender and society; aging; and marriage and family, among others. The authors of the text have worked together to “change the world by producing a text that does not insult a student’s Christian faith.” We will utilize lecture, classroom discussion and reflection questions in class to promote learning. Work assigned for the week will include reading, writing and internet research.
