Course objectives

This study programme aims at leading students to forsake a laic (everyday) view on social reality and at directing them towards better informed, more qualified and more objective (scientific) levels of learning about society. Our goal is to present sociology as „the art of distrust“, to develop critical thinking, sociological imagination, empathy and intuition for social reality. We would like to present students with a study programme, methods and social functions of sociology and a paradigmatic structure of sociology as a typical multiparadigmatic socio-scientific discipline.
Our further goals are to present the history of sociological thinking in more detail and show it as a product of the crisis of transforming the traditional society into the modern one, to point out main ideological movements and the most important works of the founders of sociology, as well as to describe the foundations of the existence of human society as a result of natural and historical development and to present the dichotomy of biological and cultural determinism as paradigmatic ways of understanding the social reality.
The other aims of the course are to clarify basic anthroporacial theories and other biologizing concepts of a man, including the newest approaches in the sphere of sociobiology. Further on, as a counterpart of biological determinism, to show the significance of cultural anthropology, to explain the foundations and the function of culture, social institutions, social learning, socializing or importance of social roles in everyday life. Our objective is also to make students familiar with the issue of theory and research of the social structure of society, social differences and inequalitites, to show the relationship between social stratification and distribution justice – students will understand conservative, socialistic and (neo)liberal standpoints of the explanation. Students will be able to explain the development of the sociology of an organization and will learn about their basic concepts. Students will also be presented with the development of opinions on bureaucracy and its typology. Our objective is to explain to them what post-modern sociology means and to show current concepts of the latest society. We will draw their attention to topical sociological issues under the conditions of accelerating globalization and individualizing processess in society.
After the course students will be able:
1. To judge social reality phenomena from the critical perspective of someone who has studied sociology and thus who has pre-requisites to develop sociological imagination;
2. To understand basic sociological concepts, to know basic theoretical approaches and emphirical methods of learning about social reality;
3. To get oriented in and be sufficiently instructed about the discourse of the nature of problems of a society of later modernity;
4. To apply sociological studies in marketing practice.

Learning outcomes

Basic theoretical knowledge, orientation in problems and context of monitored topics. At the same time, the practical skills and skills of applying the acquired knowledge in a real environment of professional activities. The learning outcomes are the support and development of the profile of the educated practitioner.

Prerequisites

Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is offered to students of any study field.

Course objectives

This study programme aims at leading students to forsake a laic (everyday) view on social reality and at directing them towards better informed, more qualified and more objective (scientific) levels of learning about society. Our goal is to present sociology as „the art of distrust“, to develop critical thinking, sociological imagination, empathy and intuition for social reality. We would like to present students with a study programme, methods and social functions of sociology and a paradigmatic structure of sociology as a typical multiparadigmatic socio-scientific discipline.
Our further goals are to present the history of sociological thinking in more detail and show it as a product of the crisis of transforming the traditional society into the modern one, to point out main ideological movements and the most important works of the founders of sociology, as well as to describe the foundations of the existence of human society as a result of natural and historical development and to present the dichotomy of biological and cultural determinism as paradigmatic ways of understanding the social reality.
The other aims of the course are to clarify basic anthroporacial theories and other biologizing concepts of a man, including the newest approaches in the sphere of sociobiology. Further on, as a counterpart of biological determinism, to show the significance of cultural anthropology, to explain the foundations and the function of culture, social institutions, social learning, socializing or importance of social roles in everyday life. Our objective is also to make students familiar with the issue of theory and research of the social structure of society, social differences and inequalitites, to show the relationship between social stratification and distribution justice – students will understand conservative, socialistic and (neo)liberal standpoints of the explanation. Students will be able to explain the development of the sociology of an organization and will learn about their basic concepts. Students will also be presented with the development of opinions on bureaucracy and its typology. Our objective is to explain to them what post-modern sociology means and to show current concepts of the latest society. We will draw their attention to topical sociological issues under the conditions of accelerating globalization and individualizing processess in society.
After the course students will be able:
1. To judge social reality phenomena from the critical perspective of someone who has studied sociology and thus who has pre-requisites to develop sociological imagination;
2. To understand basic sociological concepts, to know basic theoretical approaches and emphirical methods of learning about social reality;
3. To get oriented in and be sufficiently instructed about the discourse of the nature of problems of a society of later modernity;
4. To apply sociological studies in marketing practice.

Course objectives

This study programme aims at leading students to forsake a laic (everyday) view on social reality and at directing them towards better informed, more qualified and more objective (scientific) levels of learning about society. Our goal is to present sociology as „the art of distrust“, to develop critical thinking, sociological imagination, empathy and intuition for social reality. We would like to present students with a study programme, methods and social functions of sociology and a paradigmatic structure of sociology as a typical multiparadigmatic socio-scientific discipline.
Our further goals are to present the history of sociological thinking in more detail and show it as a product of the crisis of transforming the traditional society into the modern one, to point out main ideological movements and the most important works of the founders of sociology, as well as to describe the foundations of the existence of human society as a result of natural and historical development and to present the dichotomy of biological and cultural determinism as paradigmatic ways of understanding the social reality.
The other aims of the course are to clarify basic anthroporacial theories and other biologizing concepts of a man, including the newest approaches in the sphere of sociobiology. Further on, as a counterpart of biological determinism, to show the significance of cultural anthropology, to explain the foundations and the function of culture, social institutions, social learning, socializing or importance of social roles in everyday life. Our objective is also to make students familiar with the issue of theory and research of the social structure of society, social differences and inequalitites, to show the relationship between social stratification and distribution justice – students will understand conservative, socialistic and (neo)liberal standpoints of the explanation. Students will be able to explain the development of the sociology of an organization and will learn about their basic concepts. Students will also be presented with the development of opinions on bureaucracy and its typology. Our objective is to explain to them what post-modern sociology means and to show current concepts of the latest society. We will draw their attention to topical sociological issues under the conditions of accelerating globalization and individualizing processess in society.
After the course students will be able:
1. To judge social reality phenomena from the critical perspective of someone who has studied sociology and thus who has pre-requisites to develop sociological imagination;
2. To understand basic sociological concepts, to know basic theoretical approaches and emphirical methods of learning about social reality;
3. To get oriented in and be sufficiently instructed about the discourse of the nature of problems of a society of later modernity;
4. To apply sociological studies in marketing practice.
