Emphasis is placed on analyzing society and culture as they shape human behavior; evaluating how social variables (e.g., sexual orientation, gender, etc.) influence human interaction; and interpreting the nature of human identity. Students in this course will weigh evidence, tolerate ambiguity, act ethically, and reflect other values that are the underpinnings of psychology as a discipline.
