As social beings, we are part of a larger society governed by institutions, structures, norms, and rules. This reflects in our day-to-day lives; how we present ourselves, make decisions, or interact with others. In SOC105 Introduction to Sociology, we will explore the different dimensions of society and our place in it, in a systematic manner. Using relevant concepts, theories and scientific methods, you will learn about the “Sociological Imagination”, and different approaches to develop the sociological way of seeing. We encourage you to read, observe, participate in class discussions and engage in group activities to reflect on various topics we cover in the course. Our goal is to make you more aware as individuals and better equipped to question accepted/common sense assumptions about the world around you.
