Topics:

This class introduces students to sociological basic assumptions, especially in explaining human beings in different social contexts. Moreover, it introduces students to anthropological basic assumptions, from cultural relativism (versus stereotypes that lead to racism, ethnocentrism, and chauvinism), followed by an introduction to ethnography and visual anthropology, and continues to an understanding of cultural values, norms, knowledge, and beliefs, followed by elements of culture. The class starts from society, socialization, interactions, groups, and social structures, which is followed by an introduction to quantitative methods: statistics, and questionnaires, and continues to an understanding of vertical and horizontal stratification. The class also introduces different social institutions such as education, religion, health, and social movements, all from macro and global perspectives. In classroom discussions, students mainly use cases of cultures, ethnic groups, and societies in Indonesia.
