    http://libarts.wsu.edu/soc/Sig_Courses.htm
    
    Extractions: Professor Lisa McIntyre Sociology 101 provides an introduction to sociology, including various sociological topics as well as a sociological way of viewing the world. Topics covered include: what is sociology, what is culture, how does deviance operate in society, and many others. The goal of the course is to show students the interconnectedness of things in society. The course shows students how they are constrained and empowered by society and the role that we all play in influencing society. Professor McIntyre presents these topics with a refreshing element of humor. This course is important to sociology majors because it introduces students to the basic vocabulary and points of view largely used in sociology. For non- sociology majors, the course is important because it teaches them the interconnectedness of society and their role in that social process. Professor McIntyre teaches this course in lecture format and provides students with a "lecture guide" that gives an overview of the material and offers optional study opportunities to make the material more easily understood.

    Extractions: From sacred didactic narratives and tools of propaganda to aesthetic objects of reverence and commodities for status acquisition, the arts have enjoyed many roles in society. Employing various sociological perspectives, this course will explore the nature of "art in society" by looking at how art objects are produced, distributed, and consumed. The focus of this course is not confined to 'the fine arts', but also explores aspects of 'popular culture'. The relations between them in terms of a hierarchy raises further issues for us to examine. Music recordings, photographs, and videos will be used for illustrations and for stimulating discussion. Required Text: The purpose of the learning journal is to accumulate a series of observations and critical commentaries on such things as music encountered in a given setting, aesthetic or design aspects, architecture that you notice. This provides an opportunity to apply and make connections among the ideas and concepts that you are learning.

    Extractions: From sacred expressions and tools of propaganda to aesthetic objects of reverence and commodities for status acquisition, the arts have enjoyed many roles in society. Employing various sociological perspectives, this course will explore the nature of "art in society" by looking at how art objects are produced, distributed, and consumed. Theoretical perspectives will be related to historical and contemporary examples from a range of artistic media with special emphasis upon music, painting, architecture, and photography to explore the interplay between art and society, as well as the interrelations among the different arts themselves. The purpose of the learning journal is to accumulate a series of observations and critical commentaries on such things as music encountered in a given setting, images in photographs, advertisements or videos, aesthetic or design aspects in everyday settings including buildings that you notice. This provides an opportunity to apply and make connections among the ideas and concepts that you are learning.

    Extractions: INTRODUCTORY SOCIOLOGY Spring 2003 Ohio Wesleyan University Class Location: Room 220 Slocum Hall Times Tuesday-Thursday Faculty Office Location: 210 Elliott Hall Section 1: 8:30-9:50 AM Faculty Office Hours: Tue, Wed, and Thurs: 1-4:00 pm Section 2: 10:30-11:50 AM This course is a critical introduction to sociology, different perspectives on the social world, and different sociological tools and modes of inquiry used to acquire knowledge about people and their interactions in society. The goal of the course is to enable students to see the general framework of what is known as sociological thinking and promote what C.W. Mills called “sociological imagination.” In addition, the course will use sociological insights to look at the way in which the media and politicians manipulate public opinions by distorting information and scaring people of unfounded dangers awaiting them in public sphere. Much of our ignorance about the real dangers of the world is related to mythical crises generated by trivial and sensationalized news feeding our irrational fears. Reading The Culture of Fear students will learn about these manipulations and learn how to critically examine information given to them by the media and government agencies.

90. TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY
    sociology 29101 Professor Hummon Spring 1998 At the most general level, we willbe interested in things as technology and as material culture.  
    http://www.holycross.edu/departments/socant/dhummon/prior/techsydh.html
    
    Extractions: Overview This class explores the world of things. Our concerns will be primarily sociological, but we will also draw on related work in other disciplines, particularly anthropology, history, psychology, and architecture. At the most general level, we will be interested in things as technology and as material culture. In the former case, we will emphasize objects as tools, exploring how humans use tools to master the natural world and, in doing so, remake social worlds and the self. In the latter case, we will emphasize objects as expressive signs, exploring how things objectify and communicate meaning in the construction of ongoing social worlds. Unit II will focus on the world of things in domestic life, primarily, though not exclusively in twentieth century American culture. To some extent, our concerns will be again with technology. We will briefly examine some basic issues in the social basis of design, exploring how housing may facilitate or constrain activity. And we will touch upon the recent history of domestic technologies, from washing machines to microwave ovens. But we will expand our analysis of domestic things to ask about the personal and public meanings of objects in contemporary American culture. We will ask how people use objects, from chairs to photographs, to embody personal meaning and identity. We will explore how people decorate homes, offices, and the landscape to display meanings of class, gender, and other social distinctions. And we will ask how we are to understand our use and love of objects in terms of the materialism of contemporary consumer culture.

91. Department Of Sociology: Programs
    In fact sociology is concerned with some of the the development of human kind, humanculture and social fundamental needs related to such things as education  
    http://ets.uop.edu/sociology/program.html
    
    Extractions: PROGRAMS We offer the interested student a ten course, 40 unit major in Sociology, with a choice of three different programmatic emphases. In addition, there is a 5 course, 20 unit Minor in Sociology that can be earned in the Department. We also have strong program and faculty ties to the Jacoby Center and its several community-campus research based activities. ABOUT SOCIOLOGY Sociology is a broad field of inquiry. In fact Sociology is concerned with some of the same phenomena as other disciplines that focus on the individual (e.g. psychology), changes in the individual, culture or society (e.g., anthropology or history), or the nature and influence of contemporary social institutions (e.g., economics or political science). Sociologists want to understand the development of human kind, human culture and social institutions through time, and the social development of the individual in contemporary society from infancy, through childhood and into adulthood. Additionally, sociologists want to understand the patterned ways societies meet "fundamental needs" related to such things as education, religious beliefs, family functioning, operation of the political system, life in the city, and other "spheres" of social life. These "spheres" sociologists often refer to as social institutions. Sociologists are also concerned with culture, social change and social conflict, and the impact of these on social institutions and social life.

    http://www.trinity.edu/~mkearl/time.html
    
    Extractions: Time is the element in which we exist. ... We are either borne along by it or drowned in it. Joyce Carol Oates, "Marya" Much can be made of Bob Dylan's "the times, they are a changin'." According to William Irwin Thompson, we're now AT THE EDGE OF HISTORY , buffeted about by John Naisbitt's MEGATRENDS , and with millions suffering from Alvin Toffler's FUTURE SHOCK . In the lifetime of one born in 1976, America's bicentennial year, the population of the world has increased by over one and one-half billion individuals, hundreds of thousands have died in the name of nationalism or religion, trillions of dollars have been spent perfecting doomsday weaponry, and the revolutions in minority, gender, and old age relations have shaken the traditional foundations of social life. To make matters even more interesting, we are told that the pace of such change is accelerating. And with people living ever longer, the historical changes that used to be absorbed by several generations now must be coped within a single lifetime. Largely forgotten are the principles and values on which society's oldest members based their lives. With the accelerating push forward generated by technological and scientific innovations, the future is supposedly coming closer. However, as a society, we seem unable to conceive of great enterpriseslike the medieval construction of the great cathedrals of Europethat can link generations together into a common project spanning several centuries. Simultaneously, the pastthe wake in the water produced by the bow of the future and the hull of the presentis growing longer, thanks to technology replacing personal memories: on celluloid for instance, we can see and hear George Bernard Shawa man born a decade before the outbreak of the American Civil Wartalk to us about first hand experiences with the Victorian sexual mores. Ironically, the extent of our
