Course Descriptions

This course focuses on the macro-study of major social problems and issues of the contemporary societies with references to the local context such as social deviations, ageism, domestic/family violence, inequality, unemployment, poverty, and certain other emerging issues from a sociological perspective. Students will examine the major theoretical explanations (such as social disorganisation; labelling theory etc.) to the causative factors, and the strategies or approaches by which society seeks to cope with them. Policies on treatment and prevention of the social problems under study will also be discussed.
