A survey of the fundamental principles of sociology and the basic factors conditioning social behavior.
A survey of the fundamental principles of sociology and the basic factors conditioning social behavior.
An examination of how media operate as powerful tools of socialization and sites of knowledge production, distribution, and social change that shape our perceptions of the world and our place in it. Drawing from sociology, anthropology, education, communication, and media studies, we will explore how media reinforce and challenge social norms and also operate as sites of resistance/social change.
