SOCIOLOGY
WELCOME TO SOCIOLOGY!! I truly believe that this will be one of the most enjoyable classes you take in high school. The purpose of this class is to introduce you to your society, culture, as well as the general make up of societies around the modern world. This class is designed to provoke intellectual thought and encourage you to reflect on your own perspective of the world in which you live. Sociology is a required course that focuses on the study of society through the exploration of human groups. Emphasis will be on comparative cultures and institutional order including the family, religion, education, politics, and the economic system. The study also includes an examination of contemporary social issues nationally and around the world--poverty, crime, race relations, population, human and natural resources
