所有的現象、經歷必有其因，這門課便是透過系統性地解讀現象與經驗裡那些隱而未現的因素，因此，本課程著重社會現象的問題意識養成、分析觀點與方法。社會學知識必須建立在日常生活的現象觀察之中，同時運用各種觀點進行系統性的分析，並建立抽象概念與理論對話，進一步理解個人／行動者與社會的關係，以及對人的關懷，實踐個人與社會的多重角度思考問題。課程將經由認識社會學理論與觀點、理解社會現象與社會問題、批判性分析日常生活現象，以及透過行動實踐社會學思維等四個途徑完成上述目標。

All phenomena and experience must have their reasons. This course systematically explains the unknown and unreal factors in reading phenomena and experience. Therefore, this course focuses on the development of problem-based concepts, analyzing views and methods of social phenomena. Social knowledge must be based on the phenomenon observation of daily life, and at the same time, various perspectives are used to conduct systematic analysis, and to establish abstract concepts and theoretical dialogues, further understand the relationship between individuals/actioners and society, as well as their concerns, and to truly think about problems from multiple perspectives between individuals and society. The course will achieve the above goals through four ways: understanding social theory and viewpoints, understanding social phenomena and social problems, critically analyzing daily life phenomena, and practical social thinking through action.
