This is an honors course. It is always offered with a writing intensive focus and entails a research assignment. It is designed to acquaint the student with sociological principles and the application of these principles to aid in the awareness, understanding, and appreciation of the unique social environment of the State of Hawai`i. Fundamental concepts of sociology in the area of race relations are presented with emphasis on Hawai`i's unique potential "melting pot" social environment and the development of an "unorthodox race doctrine" for Hawai`i. Sociological aspects of the various cultural contributions by the ethnic groups to Hawai`i including values, concepts, practices, history, and language are also investigated.
