SOCI 1301 – Introduction to Sociology | Final Exam Q&A (100+ Questions) – Methods, Culture, Social Stratification, Environment

This document includes over 100 accurately answered and already graded A+ questions from the SOCI 1301 (Introduction to Sociology) Final Exam for the 2025/2026 academic year. It provides a comprehensive review of essential sociological topics and is ideal for students preparing for final assessments or requiring a high-quality summary of major concepts in sociology. The file begins with sociological research methods (surveys, experiments, variables, correlations, objectivity, replication, validity) and logic (inductive/deductive), then shifts into core theory and thinkers such as Peter Berger, C. Wright Mills, and Karl Marx. Students will review social structure, social functions, dysfunctions, manifest and latent functions, and symbolic interactionism. Subsequent sections cover culture, norms, values, socialization, deviance, and stratification, with applied topics such as gender roles, race and ethnicity, discrimination, wealth inequality, and global poverty. Environmental sociology is explored through concepts like sustainability, fossil fuels, acid rain, ocean acidification, and population growth (including Malthusian theory and demographic transition). The document also reviews key sociological terms such as Gemeinschaft vs. Gesellschaft, mechanical vs. organic solidarity, relative vs. absolute poverty, and covers classic theories including structural functionalism, conflict theory, modernization, and dependency theory. This is a well-rounded and insightful resource for students in sociology, criminology, political science, and social work.
