Sociology
照亮我们个人生活、社区和世界中的重要问题.
社会学是一个令人兴奋和启发性的研究领域,它分析和解释了我们个人生活中的重要问题, our communities and the world. Sociology’s subject matter is diverse, ranging from crime to religion, from the family to the state, 从种族和社会阶层的划分到共同文化的共同信仰,从社会稳定到整个社会的彻底变革. 社会学的目的是将这些不同的研究主题统一起来,以理解人类的行为和意识是如何塑造周围的文化和社会结构的,以及如何被周围的文化和社会结构塑造.
At the personal level, 社会学研究诸如浪漫爱情之类的事情的社会原因和后果, racial and gender identity, family conflict, deviant behavior, aging and religious faith. At the societal level, sociology examines and explains matters like crime and law, poverty and wealth, prejudice and discrimination, schools and education, business firms, urban community and social movements. At the global level, sociology studies such phenomena as population growth and migration, war and peace and economic development. 社会学家强调仔细收集和分析有关社会生活的证据,以发展和丰富我们对关键社会过程的理解.
社会学也可以作为相关领域的第二专业或辅修专业, such as majors in Criminal Justice, 心理学和心理服务辅修政治学.
