Humans are inextricably connected to one another; therefore, individuals must create systems for living and working together. It is through these institutions and social groups that human beings function as units. This course will examine the patterns and structures on which society is built and their evolution over time. It will introduce the scientific study of human society, culture, and social interactions. Topics include fundamental concepts, society, social change, sociological theory, culture, and scientific research. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate knowledge of sociological concepts as they apply to the interplay among individuals, groups, and societies.
