What the college says
We all live in a society. From the moment we are born we are being inluenced by the society we live in. Sociology looks at how the norms, values, and expectations of the society we are raised in shape how we behave, what we believe and how we see ourselves. It asks questions like; How does the 'culture', 'family' you grow up in inluence your values, goals and identity? Is crime the result of problems in the family or problems with society and social injustice? You do not need to have studied Sociology before to do well on this course.
