COMS 401 - The Individual in Society (4)

Introduction to social psychology from a sociological perspective, examining the relationship between the person and society. Questions include: What impact does society have on the formation of identity and the view we have of ourselves? How do we, as a society, create a perspective of the world around us and use this perspective to regulate each other? What processes regulate the way we establish organizations such as family or work groups and interact within these social groups? Cross-listed with SOCI 401.
