This course examines the intersection of armed forces and society, focusing on two key domains: the relationship between military organizations and the broader societal context, and the study of the military as a distinct social institution with unique demands on its members. Grounded in a military sociological perspective, cadets will analyze the military's role within society and culture in the United States and internationally. The course emphasizes critical reading, writing, and discussion of contemporary military and societal issues, and challenges cadets to apply their understanding to address real-world problems. Cadets will integrate course concepts into a focused research project that explores an aspect of the human dimension of the armed forces and society.
