Studying sociology opens up a wide range of career opportunities. One aspect that I find particularly interesting is the opportunity to contribute to disease prevention through sociology.

Engaging in charitable work aimed at addressing social inequalities such as poverty feels deeply meaningful to me.

They might disagree or make mistakes, but they are seen as partners in a shared mission, not enemies. This idea of good faith collaboration is explored deeply in Reagle’s writings.
