This weeks topics for discussion:
Education is a major social institution and agent of socialization. As such, various interest groups try to influence what is taught in schools, or at least they criticize what is taught, especially in public schools. With that in mind, let's discuss why it is that education is seen as a contested social institution. Use the sociological terms and concepts in the current and past chapters and the sociological theories to analyze the hypothesis that education performs important functions for the stability of society.
Political and moral leaders frequently are heard making statements about family values. Using the sociological terms and concepts in the current and past chapters and the sociological theories to analyze the question: "should government act to promote the nuclear family model or should it give equal support to all types of familes, including single-parent households and families headed by gay and lesbian parents?"
This is gonna be FUN!!
