It is guided by sociology's basic principle that people's lives are affected not only by individual characteristics, but also by their place in the social world. The course emphasizes the systematic connections among human relationships, social institutions, and social organizations, which allow students to evaluate themselves, and the world around them, more analytically and critically. As an honors course, it provides an enhanced experience for students through exigent course work and readings, enriched and in-depth analysis of social issues, and application of higher-level critical thinking skills through the process of conducting research in the field of sociology .
