Welcome to the Module "Introduction to Sociology".
The aims of the Module are:
- Gaining general knowledge of sociology as a scientific study of human society and social life
- Analysing how people influence and are influenced by other people and the social structures in which they live
- Exploring environmental, historical, cultural, and organisational relationships and life-patterns within the context of contemporary society.
Overall, the Module introduces students to the sociological investigation of human interaction and behaviour in society. In this perspective, they will be made aware of the variety of the fields of sociology, including Military Sociology, in shaping the social world. Selected elements of the latter such as the structure and practices of the military and its relations to other institutions will be particularly highlighted in the perspective of opening horizons for the future social and military scientists.
This module is designated for level one students at Gako Campus / Military and Social Sciences. It introduces them to the field of Sociology.
