HSB4M - Challenge and Change in Society, 12, University or College Preparation
This course examines the theories and methodologies used in anthropology, psychology, and
sociology to investigate and explain shifts in knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviour and
their impact on society. Students will analyse cultural, social, and biological patterns in human
societies, looking at the ways in which those patterns change over time. Students will also
explore the ideas of classical and contemporary social theorists, and will apply those ideas to
the analysis of contemporary trends.
