Sociology - Morehouse College

Sociology from Morehouse College is a Campus Bachelor Sociology degree that prepares you for a Human Services career. What kind of world do we live in? Is it the kind of world we want for ourselves and our children? The goal of sociology is to understand how the social world works. Sociologists study people in all sorts and sizes of communities, from couple relationships to whole societies and even groups of societies. We seek to understand what leads to consensus and conflict, whether within relationships, families, neighborhoods or whole societies. We examine work settings, health care institutions, social service agencies, and other organizations, asking how they influence employees, clients and/or customers. We study individual experiences in order to understand how discrimination, immigration, and the class structure influence such things as health and illness, educational achievements and frustrations, occupational possibilities, and involvement with the criminal justice system. A young woman or man coming of age today has plenty of reasons to take a keen interest in human society and wonder about jus?tice. Learning about the social world all around us is extremely rewarding and often great fun. If you choose to study in this department, we will help you to develop what C. Wright Mills called a \\\"sociological imagination.\\\" This way of looking at the world will help you to understand how social order and personal problems interrelate ? how larger social forces shape the course of our individual lives. It will also help you to analyze people\\\'s lives in the historical contexts in which they are being lived, encouraging you to make sense of the social pressures surrounding both your own life and the lives of others in whom you have an interest. Sociology has the power to transform people, and many of these people go on to transform society. View more details on Morehouse College .
