Learning outcomes |
The objective of learning the introduction to Sociology for the discipline of Economics is to provide students with a broader and deeper understanding of economic phenomena, recognizing that these do not occur in isolation, but in a complex social context. This is because Sociology offers tools and concepts that allow for the analysis of interactions among economic agents, institutions, and social structures, shaping economic decisions and outcomes.
Upon completion of this course, students should be able to: i) Apply basic concepts of sociology; ii) Understand the relationship between economics and society; iii) Use sociological imagination in developing a sociological perspective; iv) Critically and reflectively analyze socio-economic phenomena and demonstrate the relevance of culture, society, socialization, social institutions, and social change; v) Understand the connection between micro and macro-sociological aspects; and vi) Act more consciously in society.
