ANTHONY GUARACHA: Sociology is
a study of society, behaviors,

00:00:04.290 --> 00:00:05.580 align:middle line:90%
and interactions.

00:00:05.580 --> 00:00:07.530 align:middle line:84%
The best students
suited for sociology

00:00:07.530 --> 00:00:10.590 align:middle line:84%
would be students interested
in economics, race

00:00:10.590 --> 00:00:14.770 align:middle line:84%
and ethnicity, gender,
sexuality, social class

00:00:14.770 --> 00:00:15.570 align:middle line:90%
ability.

00:00:15.570 --> 00:00:16.990 align:middle line:90%
There are many options.

00:00:16.990 --> 00:00:18.300 align:middle line:90%

DINA CASTRO: When I
was nine years old,

00:00:23.350 --> 00:00:24.990 align:middle line:90%
we migrated from Nicaragua.

00:00:24.990 --> 00:00:27.420 align:middle line:84%
And when I was in
middle school, that

00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:30.570 align:middle line:84%
was the first time I met
someone from the Philippines.

00:00:30.570 --> 00:00:32.880 align:middle line:90%
And, to me, that was so amazing.

00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:34.620 align:middle line:84%
I would ask that
student, can you

00:00:34.620 --> 00:00:38.310 align:middle line:84%
tell me more about your country,
your culture, your tradition?

00:00:38.310 --> 00:00:39.990 align:middle line:90%
I wanted to find out more.

00:00:39.990 --> 00:00:46.060 align:middle line:84%
Sociology is an awareness to
different cultures, traditions,

00:00:46.060 --> 00:00:47.580 align:middle line:90%
and societies.

00:00:47.580 --> 00:00:51.930 align:middle line:84%

Some of the careers

00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:01.050 align:middle line:84%
that students can pursue
with a major in sociology

00:01:01.050 --> 00:01:04.349 align:middle line:84%
would be social services,
counseling, the law

00:01:04.349 --> 00:01:07.050 align:middle line:84%
enforcement, can go on
to education as well,

00:01:07.050 --> 00:01:10.280 align:middle line:84%
and also participate in
marketing, management.

00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.030 align:middle line:84%

00:01:17.610 --> 00:01:19.740 align:middle line:90%
to a four-year university.

00:01:19.740 --> 00:01:23.400 align:middle line:84%

be able to use my associate's

degree in sociology to
work with kids, especially

00:01:27.960 --> 00:01:28.937 align:middle line:90%
in middle school.

00:01:28.937 --> 00:01:31.020 align:middle line:84%
ANTHONY GUARACHA: If you're
interested in learning

00:01:31.020 --> 00:01:33.810 align:middle line:84%
about yourself,
society, interactions,

00:01:33.810 --> 00:01:37.030 align:middle line:84%
behaviors between groups, why
things are the way they are,

00:01:37.030 --> 00:01:39.600 align:middle line:84%
and why society is
set up the way it is,

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:43.590 align:middle line:84%
take a sociology class
and participate and join

00:01:43.590 --> 00:01:45.600 align:middle line:90%
the sociological program.

00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:47.100 align:middle line:84%
DINA CASTRO: I love
my instructors.

00:01:47.100 --> 00:01:50.960 align:middle line:84%
My instructors were the
reason why I stayed here.

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:55.800 align:middle line:84%
The fact that I'm graduating,
it's amazing to me.

00:01:55.800 --> 00:01:58.890 align:middle line:84%
My age with three
kids, being a woman,

00:01:58.890 --> 00:02:01.140 align:middle line:90%
it's a major accomplishment.

00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:04.380 align:middle line:84%
And that I owe it, a
lot, to my instructors.

00:02:04.380 --> 00:02:06.940 align:middle line:90%
I finish what I started here.

00:02:06.940 --> 00:02:09.600 align:middle line:84%

about that college

00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:14.820 align:middle line:90%
that made it happen for me.
