Sociology 114

Sociology 114 focuses on the concept of cultural conditioning. The millennials’ free thinking, anything goes characteristics are challenged by their sociology professor, Dr. Dayton. The students in his class believe he is mean, old and out-of-touch. And they may be right. He assigns partners in the class, based on personal profiles, to do a research project on Differences. Some of the topics he has chosen are Gender, Religion, and Race. Holly is a confident, studious, and carefree junior studying Journalism. Her partner Teddy is an intelligent, wild frat boy studying History and Pre-Law. Their topic is Race. The students in Dr. Dayton’s class like many millennials are connected to a diverse group of friends and feel this class will be an easy ‘A’. The open and frank conversations lead them all to a better understanding of themselves and others, and some learn they are connected in more ways than they can imagine.
