The military involvement of men, women (and children) in war and in peacetime, as participants and observers, perpetrators and victims, supporters and opponents of war is also discussed.</p></div><div class="noindent"></div><div class="noindent"></div><div class="noindent"></div></div><div class="courseblock"><div class="cols noindent"><span class="text detail-xrefcode margin--tiny text--semibold text--big"><strong>SOC 502</strong></span> <span class="text detail-title margin--tiny text--semibold text--big"><strong>Sociology of Child Welfare</strong></span> <span class="text detail-hours_html margin--tiny text--semibold text--big"><strong>(3 Credit Hours)</strong></span> </div><div class="noindent"><p class="courseblockextra noindent">A sociological analysis of the field of child welfare.
