Overview

If you are interested in understanding why people behave as they do in social situations, sociology is for you. For instance, in elevators why do most people press the button, face front, and avoid eye contact? Why are women and men expected to be different? Today, why can’t we have essential conversations about gun control, immigration, or healthcare without vitriol and animosity? We use sociology – the systemic study of groups and society – to investigate these issues during the Sociology course from Otterbein University.
