Objectives of the Course
By examining the daily life, it is aimed to determine the changes in people's view of the differences in themselves and in social life. In addition, we will try to focus on the effects of the reflection of some behavioral patterns that we have formed in our daily routines on our social life and communication patterns. The effects of the social change process from past to present will be examined in terms of the effects of daily relationship patterns and the social dynamics of life created by them.
