Societal Issues and Sociology: The discipline of Sociology studies human behavior but, more importantly, we help students gain new knowledge. There are no societal issues or social problems that are off-limits. In this presentation, we will discuss and dissect the societal patterns that influence individuals and groups of individuals and discover how the context of society shapes our lives. This knowledge of the social and historical context in which people live will help us understand a person or group of people's experiences.
