This course applies the sociological perspective to feature and documentary movies to critically explore social issues presented on film. Students will develop their sociological imaginations as they are introduced to essential sociological concepts such as culture, society, the social construction of reality, socialization, power and inequality, social institutions, and social problems as depicted in classic, contemporary, and foreign film. As social issues are serious and often controversial, the films examined may also be controversial and contain mature themes.
