Sociology (Introduction To Sociology)

This book has been written keeping in mind the new syllabus proposed for First Year Bachelor of Arts (Semester - I) students to be adopted from June 2019. The subject, ‘Sociology’, as a separate body of knowledge, is introduced to undergraduate Arts students at the first year itself. At the junior college level they do get a little insight into various aspects of Sociology. However, the study of Sociology, as a separate subject is introduced only at the first year level. As such this paper is titled as “Introduction to Sociology” and deals with the various basic aspects of Sociology. All the chapters are written keeping in mind that the student is being newly introduced to the topic.

1. Emergence of Sociology as a Discipline

2. Basic Concepts in Sociology

3. Culture, Inequality and Social Exclusion
