Sociology Essentials provides a structured and engaging introduction to how societies function, change, and influence everyday life. This course explores the foundations of sociology by examining key concepts such as social interaction, culture, institutions, inequality, and global connections. Learners are guided through classical and modern sociological theories, including functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism, enabling them to understand how different perspectives explain social behaviour.

The course also introduces essential research methods used in sociology, helping learners develop critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and ethical awareness when examining social issues. Through focused lessons on family, education, work, social class, race, gender, and globalization, students gain a balanced understanding of how social structures shape opportunities and experiences across societies.

A strong emphasis is placed on applying sociological knowledge to real-world contexts. Learners will explore social movements, health and illness, environmental challenges, and contemporary global issues, making sociology relevant to everyday decision-making and professional settings. By the end of the course, students will be able to interpret social patterns, question assumptions, and use sociological thinking to better understand both local and global communities.
