SC 440 - Seminar: Global Sociology

(3.00 cr.)

Prerequisite: SC 101 and SC 102 or completion of two social science core courses. Restricted to juniors and seniors. Globalization has become a favorite topic of the late twentieth century, as technological revolutions during recent decades, combined with the collapse of communism in central and eastern Europe, have profoundly expanded the connections among the world's people. Any educated person in the twenty-first century will need to think globally, and this course explores the possibilities. Similarities and differences among societies are examined, along with the argument that a global social system is emerging. Seminar format with limited enrollment. GT
