This course has two aims. The first is to give an introduction to sociology. Using various sociological theories as the starting point, the course gives an overview of key aspects of sociology linked with human relations as displayed on different levels, from individuals and groups, via social institutions to regional, national and global leves. Sociological concepts are introduces to illustrate social units and processes of varying size and scope: microlevel (theory of action and interaction), mesolevel (theory of socialisation). The second aim is to provide a deeper understanding of the theory, involving a thorough introduction to social conditions in Norway, emphasising conditions in northern Norway and Sami matters, as well as the position Norway holds in the global society. | Form of teaching
