SOC175: Australia and Global Societies: An Introduction to Sociology
This is an exciting and innovative course about Australian life and global societies. It also provides new and engaging ways to develop your understanding of the deep social relationships that bind us together and which, at the same time, underlie the expression of conflict and inequality. We focus in the course on key areas of social life such as family, gender and sexuality, religion, age, crime, media, work, globalisation and social policy. We also introduce you to Sociology and the sociological research process and hope to raise your interest in the social problems and questions confronting Australian society. The course gives you valuable vocational skills that enable you to enjoy interesting and varied employment in a variety of different commercial, government and non-government positions.
