This course introduces cadets to the sociological study of the military and its relationship with American society. The course develops students' ability to think critically about human behavior, institutions, culture, and societal change through the lens of military service. Using the sociological imagination, students examine the connections between individual experiences and broader social forces, gaining insight into how military organizations both shape and reflect society. Topics include military culture, socialization and resocialization, social networks, bureaucracy, deviance and social control, social stratification, demographics, veterans, military families, education, and social movements. **This is a pilot course that must be reviewed by the Curriculum Committee NLT AY28-1 to continue.**
