What is Sociology Sociology aims to uncover the theoretical principals that illuminate social life. In pursuing this goal, sociology exhibits a diversity of perspectives. This pluralism is one source of the discipline's vitality. Some scholars reach out to the sciences for their model of social inquiry; others look to more humanistic and historical endeavors for their inspiration and identity. But in all its different forms, the discipline as a whole strives to develop rigorous methods, both qualitative and quantitative, for analyzing social life. Sociology involves more than the accumulation of theory and method for its own sake. Perhaps above all else, sociology is devoted to the exploration of actual social life in all its variety. Thus it is that sociology majors examine the dynamic process through which human beings express their social being: cooperation, conflict, power, exchange, morality, symbolism, domination, dependency, deviance, social control, and violence. Students also study the forms to which these processes give rise: social networks, small groups, face-to-face interaction, subcultures, families, gender divisions, religion, popular and high culture, social class, structures of race and ethnicity, bureaucracy, social movements, professions, and the state.

Given this organization, you are expected to attend each class and to participate. A) Attendance If you must miss a class, please inform me ahead of time so that we can make arrangements. Note that unexcused absences will negatively affect your final grade. B) Class Participation and Discussion Active participation requires adequate preparation. You therefore must read the assigned material before class and develop your own assessment of this material. Such careful preparation will improve the quality of class discussion.

Thus Montesquieu regarded the political forms of different states as a consequence of the working of deep underlying climatic, geographic, economic, and psychological factors. In the 18th cent., Scottish thinkers made inquiries into the nature of society; scholars like Adam Smith explored the economic causes of social organization and social change, while Adam Ferguson considered the noneconomic causes of social cohesion. It was not until the 19th cent., however, when the concept of society was finally separated from that of the state, that sociology developed into an independent study. The term

Instruction focuses on schools of thought and methodological skills within the sociological tradition by enhancing students: understanding of the major strands of sociological thought; skill to apply sociological methods; and ability to place the development and practice of sociology within a social and historical context.

Sociology of Work: Concepts and Cases Carol Auster Thousand Oaks, CA: Pine Forge Press ISBN 8039 9033 2 xxiv + 456 pp. Order this book Sociology's subfield of work and occupations covers a lot of ground. Work can be understood in multiple contexts: cultural, economic, organizational, and occupational. The immediate relevance of work to a student, however, is more personal: what will the world of work be like for me? Carol Auster's The Sociology of Work: Concepts and Cases addresses the student's pressing question; it is a textbook that is less about work as a social phenomenon and more about workers' experiences. As such, it is most accurately described as a textbook on the sociology of workers. And, with this more micro-level approach, it is markedly less structural in its emphasis than texts on the sociology of work authored by Hall (1994) and Auster organizes the material in terms of how workers experience their jobs: what factors influence occupational choice, how workers are socialized to the norms of the workplace, how workers feel about their jobs, ways in which workers bend the rules on the job, how workers deal with the dual demands of work and family, and how technological changes in the workplace affect workers. Each chapter concludes with multiple case studies that illustrate the concepts introduced in the text. The case studies are very engaging and range from the predictable pieces on doctors and lawyers to less conventional choices on such occupations as fences (that is, middlemen for stolen merchandise), basketball coaches, and garbage collectors. Auster's extensive use of case studies is valuable in that it makes the abstract material in the text more relevant to students and introduces them to kinds of work with which they are probably unfamiliar.

Without understating the role of violent intervention, Ivan Evans shows that apartheid was sustained by a great and ever-swelling bureaucracy. The Department of Native Affairs (DNA), which had dwindled during the last years of the segregation regime, unexpectedly revived and became the arrogant, authoritarian fortress of apartheid after 1948. The DNA was a major player in the prolonged exclusion of Africans from citizenship and the establishment of a racially repressive labor market. Exploring the connections between racial domination and bureaucratic growth in South Africa, Evans points out that the DNA's transformation of oppression into "civil administration" institutionalized and, for whites, legitimized a vast, coercive bureaucratic culture, which ensnared millions of Africans in its workings and corrupted the entire state. Evans focuses on certain features of apartheidthe pass system, the "racialization of space" in urban areas, and the cooptation of African chiefs in the Bantustansin order to make it clear that the state's relentless administration, not its overtly repressive institutions, was the most distinctive feature of South Africa in the 1950s.

Sociology is the study of human societies, their structure, and the ways individuals and groups relate to one another. Sociological knowledge is vital to the understanding of contemporary issues and topics such as poverty, crime, delinquency, deviance, mental illness, urban growth and decay, marriage and family life, behavior in bureaucracies, and the organization and delivery of human services. Since its curriculum emphasizes everyday issues and the workings of society in general, the sociology degree is useful in a great variety of occupational fields. Although some employers require advanced training (master's or Ph.D.), most recruit persons who have earned the bachelor's degree in sociology. The undergraduate degree, therefore, may lead to a variety of positions in personnel, industry, survey research, public-opinion polling, marketing and advertising research, and in government or nonprofit agencies which provide for the delivery of human services. Many sociology graduates also work in hospitals or health-care organizations as well as in education and business.
