This course is designed to study how society works, (e.g. culture, groups and societies), why it works that way (e.g. socialization, social interaction, conflict theory, functionalism), in what way we are all affected (e.g. gender, race, class, deviance), and in what way we can change society (e.g. social movements). By the end of the course, students should understand society better and their relation to it more clearly.

CILO-1: Identify sociological theories and apply to the real-life examples. CILO-2: Explain the historical origin and essence of sociology. CILO-3: Apply sociological perspectives to solve social problems.
