The educational goal of sociology
In order to scientifically analyze social phenomena, we should emphasize the understanding of diverse theories and methodologies, strengthen the training of social investigation and analysis, and set the professional understanding and analysis ability of social phenomena as the core educational goal. We pay special attention to the trend of globalization and informatization, pay attention to the prospect, analysis, criticism and reflection of changes and problems in modern society, conduct scientific and systematic research and analysis, and cultivate the ability to replace reality.
Social research education
Sociology is a science that scientifically thinks and analyzes the relationship and function between man and society, rather than staying in abstract thinking and discussion of human phenomena, nor staying in the relationship and connection between man and society. So sociology is unique with philosophy and psychology. Most importantly, people can try to think about different forms of relationships and roles extensively and freely. The detailed majors of sociology are theory, science (technology), organization, education, enterprise, culture, class, unrest, women, politics, law, religion, environment and family, and every student can have a deep understanding of his own interests.
The future of sociology after graduation
Sociology is an essential basic subject for talents who lead the social trend. Not only through sociology, but also through macro methods such as modernization, globalization and informatization. If we study together, the insight of Korean society and even the world society will be more insightful. Therefore, sociological knowledge and analysis are not only useful in the fields of government, public institutions, enterprises, media, advertising and non-governmental organizations, but also play an important role in the fields of writers, educators, scientists and venture entrepreneurs.
