Course Description
Focuses on understanding current social problems in U.S. society, such as economic, racial, and gender inequality, from a sociological perspective. Because the course relates to social issues, the exact set of problems covered can change from semester-to-semester. Other issues covered in recent semesters include climate change, crime, and social movements intended to solve social problems. The primary goals of this course are increasing student awareness of social problems and their causes, as well as possible solutions.
