• SOC 3150: Social Psychology

  3.00 Credits

  East Tennessee State University

  
  Prerequisite(s): Sociology 1010. Social Psychology is the study of the factors that influence human interaction and the consequences of human interaction. The primary theoretical perspective examined in this course is symbolic interactionism. This theory examines how symbolic communication and interaction shapes our social world, our society, and ourselves. The student will develop an understanding of the basic tenets of this theory and how to apply these to real life situations. The course will more briefly examine social exchange theory and attribution theory in order to broaden the student?s understanding of human interaction by including these alternative perspectives. These latter two perspectives will in particular be used to examine justice and fairness in human interaction.

• SOC 3200: Sociol of Sex & Gender

  3.00 Credits

  East Tennessee State University

  
  Prerequisite(s): SOC 1010. The students should have a basic understanding of the sociological perspective. Through a combination of readings, discussions, and written assignments, this course examines the concept of gender and its impact on our society. First, we will critically review various theoretical perspectives that have tried to define sex and gender categories, explain differences between men and women, and sometimes justify gender stratification. We will then look at how men and women are assigned different roles in various institutions, and how they have different levels of social, economic, and political power in society. We will also look at the consequences of gender categorization for our intimate relationships, our health, our attitudes to violence. Finally, we will look at how throughout history, social movements have challenged existing gender categories, and what issues will be prominent in the future. The approach of this course is that the current gender hierarchy tends to exaggerate differences between men and women and force them into rigid molds, while in reality, men and women have much in common, and would benefit from a more flexible approach to gender.
