btw, Hummingbirdtat2, soc. was great. i had a fantastic instructor, one of my best ever, and the class had a variety of perspectives, readings, etc. we used the conflict/order perspective as a jumping-off point a lot; we read mills, weber, du bois, religious-based stories, also ones re: education, gender, race, class, and stratification. we read stories about cowboys and indians, barbie-doll culture, how housework is divvied up, how children are gendered, studies on poverty, studies on education and class, etc. etc. and etc.
it was an excellent subject; i almost wish i needed another soc. class as a prerequisite rather than developmental psych.
