PhD Sociology M.A. Sociology B.S. Criminal Justice “It can be said that the first wisdom of sociology is this - things are not what they seem. This too is a deceptively simple statement. It ceases to be simple after a while. Social reality turns out to have many layers of meaning.”                                                                                        ~Peter Berger in Invitation to Sociology A Humanistic Perspective.
