Makeup class-3. What did I learn from this class?

By taking this class,   First, I understand what sociology is. Usually, sociology was considered vaguely a study of society, but I found that sociology was being used and studied in a wide range of areas in society.   Secondly, it was an opportunity to look back at the society I live in. I could think more deeply while studying concepts that were close to everyday life, such as inequality, class, and social network.   Also, By reading Wikipedia and writing blog posts, I think I was able to develop my ability to use Wikipedia better.

I think we can use sociological knowledge to make better judgments about social issues that have recently become an issue.
