If you think of the sociology as reflective thought on man, on his act in society, it could be said to have existed for years: from philosophy, literature, among scholars of all ages, in various fields. A science born of the need of men to fulfill certain requirements, proposing the answers, practical solutions to specific problems or needs cognitive The first sociological calculations were attempts to reach an understanding of how, and through which actors, society was becoming, and provide some guidance in establishing new social orders. As the problems of urban and industrial companies worsened, both in size and complexity, as they developed the capitalist system, and new political movements emerged and with them the collective movements, sociology took on the task of investigating and groped to solve the many problems of a modern society. Today, the sociologist, must be able to analyze and respond to other issues of social life: globalization, ecology, gender and sexuality, migration ... big issues that they carry the transformation of social relations, the family, the stratification , education, religion, the arts, the use of mass media. The course will therefore deal with the forms and the changes of living in society, according to different theories and methods of investigation. It will be given special attention to closer to the career issues of the Degree Course for Educators Community. During the course we will be organized seminars.
