Sociology

Sociology is the scientific study of groups of people and their impact on our individual lives. Emphasis is placed on an understanding of the "social facts” in each person's life. From parents to schoolteachers to our peers, groups of people impact who we are, what we value and who we will become. In-depth attention is also given to societal problems such as racism, and poverty and crime. The essential goal of Sociology is to help the student better understand society's impact on the individual and one's role within that society.
