Recommended: The background of sociological imagination in sociology

Over the course of the fall semester, I have taken Sociology 101-09 with Profesor Healy. The Breadth Reflection Exercise regarding this class will analyze my thought process and learn experience throughout the course. For the course, the Professor Healy made these objectives priority for the class; to develop and apply a sociological imagination, analyze the causes and consequences of social inequality, analyze social/cultural diversity and complexity, evaluate and implement social theory, and implement scientific methods in conducting research. These objectives were vital to becoming successful when applying it to the real world. This course relates to my educational goals of growing my mental capacity of formal knowledge.

  • Identifying and Studying Social Problems

    617 Words  | 2 Pages

    This Social Problems class introduced me to the practice of identifying and studying social problems. For the future, I now know such terms as ‘subjective concern’, ‘objective conditions’, and many more. I could easily hold a pertinent conversation with any sociologist regarding a certain social problem, and hold my ground. This subject has tied in well with many other areas of my others classes as well. This class has also prepared me for future sociology classes in high school or college, and possibly a career in sociology somewhere down the line.
