Course Introduction
Introduction to Sociology provides a comprehensive overview of the systematic study of human society, social interaction, and the patterns of social behavior that shape our everyday lives. This course explores key sociological concepts, theories, and methods used to analyze topics such as culture, socialization, groups and organizations, social stratification, race and ethnicity, gender, and social change. Through critical examination of social institutions and contemporary issues, students develop an understanding of how individual experiences are influenced by broader social forces, preparing them to think analytically about societal structures and their impact on communities and individuals.
