Theoretical and Methodological Research Areas

Students will learn the most basic concepts and theories of sociology in 'Introduction to Sociology'. In addition, students learn how to empirically analyze and verify changes in the real world through quantitative and qualitative data in 'Social Research Methods' and 'Social Statistics'. In the 'Social Research Practice' class, students apply and analyze what they have learned in the real world by mastering and synthesizing theoretical and empirical knowledge and methodologies. This helps them develop critical thinking and analytical skills.Modern Society Study Areas

Modern Society Study Areas

The world is transitioning from an industrial society to a post-industrial society, and the risks and uncertainties of modern society are increasing significantly. In order to scientifically analyze and explain these social changes and new social structures, it is necessary to have an in-depth discussion on each area and field of modern society. First of all, sociology analyzes the various principles and operating mechanisms that make up modern society. In addition, sociology focuses on various social problems that appear in the process of transitioning to a post-industrial and post-modern society and aims to cultivate creative and thinking skills to solve them. Lectures include the Sociology of Risk, Understanding the Information Society, Science, Technology and Society, Population and Society, Health Issues in Contemporary Society, Sociology of Gender, Peace and Human Rights in Contemporary Society, and Sociology of Transition and Sharing. The development of culture and changes in media have played an increasingly important role in the transformation of modern history. In Sociology, students develop an understanding and empathy for cultural diversity through courses such as Cultural Sociology, Comparative Sociocultural Studies, Sociology of Popular Cuture, and Mass Media and Society. We also offer courses to help students adapt to and actively respond to changes in various media.
