SOCI 124 - Introduction to Sociology: Classics of Sociology


Semester Offered: First Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4SS

Modern sociology was born in the context of the transition from traditional to modern societies in the West. This dramatic transformation opened a whole series of new social and political problems which have defined the modern era. We will explore the ways some important founding figures of sociology analyzed such problems as individualism, alienation, lack of community, class conflict, and modern capitalism. We will address the relevance of classical sociology for contemporary issues and the students’ personal experiences.
