Postgraduate Certificate in Classical Sociological Theory

Name: Classical Sociological Theory
Availability: InStock

Classical sociological theory is a discipline that offers us key tools to understand the functioning of societies in all their dimensions, encompassing the new forms of interaction and communication that have developed in the digital age.

In this sense, Classical Sociological Theory can be a very useful tool for anyone interested in understanding the social changes that are taking place today. For example, the study of classical authors such as Karl Marx or Max Weber, allows us to understand the dynamics of power relations in digital societies, where technology companies have an increasingly influential role. Also, it allows us to analyze the way in which identities are constructed in the digital era, as well as the new forms of political and social participation that have developed in social networks.

Another advantage of classical sociological theory is that it helps us to develop a critical and reflective perspective on the world in which we live. In an age marked by mass information and manipulation of public opinion, critical thinking becomes a fundamental skill for navigating the digital world. The classic authors of sociology offer us a deep and rigorous vision of the world, which allows us to understand it in a more complex and nuanced way.

For all of the above, TECH Global University developed the Postgraduate Certificate in Classical Sociological Theory. An online program that not only allows us to understand the social changes that are taking place, but also offers us tools to develop a critical and reflective perspective on the world in which we live. In short, this program is indispensable for anyone interested in understanding the complexity of today's society.
