Module Descriptions
SC1101E Making Sense of Society
Students are introduced to the concepts used in Sociology
and Anthropology. The main objective is to train students
to use Sociology in analyzing social institutions and processes.
For this reason, students are encouraged to relate their experiences
in society to the discipline of Sociology and Anthropology.
The topics covered in the module are the logic and methods
of social investigation; family, work and organisation; power
and the state; social inequality (including gender and ethnicity);
mass communication and popular culture; values and beliefs;
and deviance and social control.
GEK1041 Understanding Globalisation Precludes: GEM2016K
This module proposes to examine the processes of globalization and seeks to provide a deeper understanding of it. The world is globalizing both culturally and economically. We need to ask whether this process is creating a single world without borders or intensifying cultural differences between societies. By discussing various trends of the interdependent world, the course helps us in understanding the various processes of globalization. Since the processes of globalization involve societal, cultural, technological, political, and economic processes, we will take an inter-disciplinary framework in understanding this diverse experience. The course will specifically highlight the problems and prospects of the contemporary world.
SSA1201 Singapore Society Precludes
SS1202SC
