This course is an introduction to the discipline of sociology.  It involves the study of human society, social behaviour, and social order.  It examines different sociological approaches, concepts, and theories used by sociologists to explore the ways people interact, look at the world; understand social differences, inequalities, group dynamics, social institutions and changes in society. Throughout the semester students will be encouraged to critically examine current social issues, the society they live in, and their place in it.
