SOC 101 - PI Introduction to Sociology

(Perspectives I course) This course is an introduction to the field of sociology–the scientific study of social life. Students will learn about the sociological perspective and methods of inquiry used by sociologists to understand the world around us. Some of the questions posed (and answered) in class using this perspective include: If drug dealers make so much money why do so many of them still live with their mothers? How is falling in love influenced by social forces? Why do people on welfare not have jobs? Is obesity a social or individual problem? Are racism and sexism things of past?
