This course examines sport from a sociological perspective. The role and value of sport in Canadian society is examined. The course also analyzes human behaviour within sport and examines how Canada’s culture and values impact Canadian sport. Issues such as cheating, drug use, race, gender and discrimination in sport are studied. Students compare sport behaviours to related behaviour found outside of sport. Students will develop their critical analysis skills while learning how to effectively explain their opinions and beliefs.
This foundational course introduces students to social issues such as gender, race, religion, politics, ethnicity, drugs, and violence as well as its effects on the sport industry. Knowledge acquired in this course will be used throughout the student’s program and professional career.
