Learning outcomes
|
The objective of this course is to introduce the fundamentals of sociology or social anthropology, as the case may be, which has many common features with sociology. The emphasis is on studying values, institutions, customs, and behavior formed under a social structure's influence. Students will gain the basics of sociological knowledge, a critical scientific perspective on the structure of modern society, and knowledge from separate fields of social life.
After passing the course students should be able to: - Explain the basic terminology of sociology, or social anthropology as the case may be, - describe and interpret (from the perspective of sociology/social anthropology) the fundamental theories of sociology, social organizations, and systems; - show the knowledge of the social interactions in regular life; - apply the knowledge of sociology/social anthropology in particular model situations/examples based on real life of a human as a member of society.
