SOC101

In this course we explore our awareness of the relationship between our experience and broader society. How are our lives shaped by our social positions in society ? our social class, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, and more? How do the members of different groups view each other and interact with each other? Why do inequalities exist and how do these affect us? How does culture shape our behavior, and why do religions, schools, families, and other institutions remain stable but also change over time?
