SOCI 342 - Comparative Sociology(3 credits)
Prerequisite: SOCI 102 and SOCI 300; or consent of instructor
This course explores different varieties of human behavior, beliefs, values, and social structure in different societies. The diversity shows that people are shaped by the social context around them, and social rationalization is based on culture and tradition. Social institutions and policies in the United States are examined first and then compared to the experiences of selected countries in East Asia (China and Japan) and Europe (primarily Britain, Germany and Sweden). Comparison is used as the explicit means to interpret social formations. Offered yearly.
