Programme
If you think of sociology as reflective thinking about man, on his acting in society, one can say that he has always existed: from philosophy, literature, scholars of all ages to the most diverse fields. A science stems from the need for men to meet certain needs, proposing answers, practical solutions to certain problems or cognitive needs. Early sociological elaborations were attempts to reach an understanding of how, and through which actors, society was transforming and provide some guidance in establishing new social orders. As the problems of urban and industrial societies worsened, both in size and complexity, as the capitalist system developed, new political movements emerged and with them collective movements, sociology assumed the task of investigating and try to solve the multiple problems of a modern society. Today, the sociologist has to be able to analyze and respond to other issues of social coexistence: globalization, ecology, gender and sexuality, migrations ... great themes that bring in the transformations of social relationships, family, stratification , education, religion, the arts, the use of mass media. The course intends to address the forms and changes of living in society, according to different theories and methods of investigation. Particular attention will be paid to the topics closest to the professional path of the Degree Course.During the course seminars will be organized.
