Students acquire the ability to explain the theories and history of sociology as the science that analysis social action multidimensional, i.e. not limited to one section of human coexistence. They are able to recognize main social issues and subjects and to describe them from a socio-logical perspective. They know how to analyse contemporary social, cultural, economic and political develop-ments in terms of science, i.e. theory-driven, and to critically evaluate institutions and pro-cesses with current examples.
