Curr. § 5 (1) 1. 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 sociological perspective.   They know how to analyse contemporary social, cultural, economic and political developments in terms of science, i.e. theory-driven, and to critically evaluate institutions and processes with current examples.
