Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course concentrates on the systematic study of human society and human interaction. Using observation, the scientific method, and cross-cultural examination, students will discover how patterns of behavior develop, culture is learned, and social predictions are made. They will analyze human behavior in terms of conformity and deviance, human relationships in terms of inequality and stratification, and the changing nature of society and the collective responses to change.
