Social Inquiry I falls under the Scientific and Social Inquiry Capacity.<\/em><\/p>\n

Understanding how social phenomena affect our lives informs our personal and ethical growth by illuminating the societal implications of our individual actions.
\nPeople do not live and work in isolation. Rather, we are embedded in, and move between, multiple complex communities: families, neighborhoods, universities, cities, states, and transnational groups, for example. Our individual choices are significantly shaped by social forces and the social structures in which we act.<\/p>\n
