This course explores how individuals are organized into social groups and how these groups influence behavior, from intimate relationships to complex bureaucracies. Students will examine key social institutions—such as family, education, religion, and the economy—and analyze how they shape society and social structure. Emphasis is placed on using the sociological imagination to interpret social problems and consider solutions. Through the study of culture, social class, race, and ethnicity, students will evaluate the roots and impact of inequality. Major sociological theories provide frameworks for understanding group dynamics, identity, and the interplay between individuals and broader social systems.
