BA Sociology (Major) at Friedrich Schiller University Jena

‘Everything was better in the old days!’ is a saying that is used so often... The world and its societies are constantly changing; with them, the rules of the game, i.e. values and norms, sometimes change silently and insidiously. Sociology wants to explore the reasons and causes and asks precisely how and why.
