It examines how people interact, how groups or societies differ and how the groups or societies people belong to affect human behavior. No matter how personal our experiences are, they are influenced by social forces, forces that arise from the society of which we are a part; they exist outside of the individual. In this course, students become familiar with basic concepts of sociology and develop their sociological imagination - the ability to see the interplay between biography and history, individual and society; the ability to understand the connections between public issues and private troubles.

    To study community is to study people living in and identifying with a particular place and to give special attention to the type, quality, and basis of their interaction. Such a broad definition includes much of the subject matter of sociology, so it is not surprising that community theory and research have played a major role in the development of American Sociology. Sociology has at its core a foundation for understanding community. Urbanization and urban growth have occurred more rapidly during the 19th and 20th centuries than in any other period. The globe is changing from a predominately rural world to one where the majority of us live in urban places. This is a survey course in that a broad perspective of community studies is covered. This includes recognizing the rural past, historical changes over time and place, and current trends through sociological theory and research.
