Most likely they will push more government control, racial integration, and fantasies of a nonexistent utopia. It's a boring class which usually has some good looking girls in it. The best part is the books cost $150 and they only use it for one semester,(because some sociologist came up with a new idea how to fix a problem they created and printed a new book), so you can't sell it back to the book store.
I think they use to call it social science in high school.
Epic post! Soooo true. My Sociology class was without a doubt the easiest, most do-nothing class I ever took. We had a research paper about a "social topic" just like you said. It counted as 1/4 of the final grade. The other 3/4 were 3 tests. They were all just multiple choice and T/F questions, and it was open notes!! If the professor hadn't made attendance mandatory, you could've easily only shown up on the test dates and still get an A. Every class consisted of the prof talking and hopelessly trying to get 20 half-asleep teenagers to participate in class discussions.
