Sociology - Glencoe High School

Sociology means the study of society. It is concerned with groups and with actions of individuals within groups. In this course, students pursue an analysis of the nature and structure of society. Students will study the way sociologists perceive society; the process of becoming a social being; the way society is organized; the nature and structure of social institutions; and the study of race relations and gender roles. As a result of this course, it is hoped students will see the need for an understanding of the forces within society and these influences on our behavior.
