Over the course of the term, you have been developing your sociological lens, which is a way to see and understand the social world in new and different ways. You have examined the significance of culture, the formation of the self, several types of social inequalities, the influence that social institutions have on our lives, the power of group cohesion and deviance, and the constancy of social change.
