Human Behavior and Social Environments - Macro

Catalog description

Pre-req: Completion of the Core Curriculum Research & Professional Writing requirement or permission of the instructor. HBSE II is a comparative study of human behavior within the contexts of formal and informal social systems (families, small groups, neighborhoods, organizations) focusing on the relationship between social environment and human behavior. Students compare and contrast theories that impact the functioning of individuals in various categorical groups. They will begin to synthesize these theories as they analyze individual and group situations as they are impacted by the culture of poverty, the impact of social economic status, and the changing patterns in the communities in which they live.
