<span style="font-family: 'Century Schoolbook','serif';">Sociology is a course that seeks to study human society and social behavior. Sociologists concentrate their attention on social interaction-the ways in which people relate to one another and influence each other’s behavior. The Study of Sociology provides you with the tools to develop a sociological imagination, or the ability to see the connection between the larger social world and our personal lives. (Holt, Rinehart and Winston)

<span style="font-family: 'Century Schoolbook','serif';">This course will look at a variety of social issues, their causes, their consequences, and the connections to our personal lives.
