Sociology Matters

Sociology matters because it raises your awareness of cultural patterns you would otherwise take for granted.

1. What culture and/or subcultures do you belong to? Have you ever questioned your culture’s norms and values?

2. How does your culture relate to cultures in other societies? Do you feel comfortable in mainstream society? 

Sociology matters, too, because it shows you how you became who you are.

3. How do you view yourself as you interact with others around you? How do you think you formed this view of yourself?

4. What people, groups, or social institutions have been particularly important in helping you to define who you are?
