When someone asks, "How are you?", what is it they really want to know? Why does 1% of the United States population own 40% of the nation’s wealth? Why do we call people Latino or Asian American when not all Latinos or Asian Americans look the same, are from the same country or even speak the same language? What does the spread of reality t.v. shows like "Survivor" and "Temptation Island" say about American culture? These are the kinds of questions sociology can help us answer and the kinds of questions we’ll be asking in S1000, Introduction to Sociology.
