Programma

If we think of sociology as a reflective thought on man, on his actions in society, it could be said that it has always existed: from philosophy, in literature, among scholars of every age, in the most varied fields. A science arises from the human need to satisfy certain needs, proposing answers, practical solutions to real problems or cognitive needs. Sociology combines theory and empirical research, and today, more than ever, it is useful for knowing how to analyze and respond to the issues of social coexistence: culture, democracy, health, globalization, ecology, gender and sexuality, migrations, symbolic representations, great themes that carry within them the transformations of social relations, of the family, of stratification, of education, of religion, of the arts, of the use of the mass media. The course therefore intends to address the forms and changes of living in society, according to different theories and methods of investigation, with the aim of making female students more and more autonomous and aware. Able to set up conceptually oriented empirical research. Particular attention will be paid to the themes closest to the professional paths of the Eduform, Edunido and SFP degree courses, with particular attention to childhood.
