Learning outcomes
In American Culture 2, the sociologist’s view of America, that is, as a single society/entity will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on broad strokes, it does matter, and simply saying “well, not everyone is like that,” is not enough to dismiss the ideas mentioned in this class. Recent trends/movements within American society, especially as it relates to the upcoming election will be put under the magnifying glass.
