The main purpose of the course is to explain the why and wherefore of sociology, which is one of the first scientific revolutions that started with the industrial revolution, with concepts, schools of thought and pioneer names.
In this course, we will try to see the realities we face as individuals, what these realities are and what they shape; how we take part in these realities - especially 'social reality' - and how we should understand them through the lens of the discipline of sociology.
Afterwards, while the 'structures that constitute society' are examined as a whole of relations, it will be emphasized how the different schools of the discipline of sociology mentioned above look at these relations.
The course will examine social transformations within their historical stages and will be completed with the stage reached today as a result of the globalizing social structure.
1. Students gain the ability to explain the why and wherefore of sociology with concepts, schools of thought and precursor names.
2. Students understand how we are located in 'social reality' and how we should understand them.
3. Students learn the structures that form society within a set of relationships.
4. Students can evaluate social transformations within their historical stages.
