SOC 2010 - Sociology of the Family
Credits: 3
This course examines the history, structure, functions, and varieties of modern American families. Changing definitions of marriage, sexual expression, child rearing, sex roles, and divorce rates will be examined from a sociological perspective that considers the family in comparative and historical perspective. Racial and ethnic diversity in family life will also be considered, along with the variety of family forms that exist today. Emphasis is less on personal adjustment in marriage and more on sociological explanations for why current trends are occurring and what implications they hold for the individual, family, and society.
Prerequisite: SOC 1001
