ANTHONY GUARACHA: Sociology is a study of society, behaviors,
and interactions.
The best students suited for sociology
would be students interested in economics, race
and ethnicity, gender, sexuality, social class
ability.
There are many options.
My name is Anthony Guaracha.
I'm an Associate Professor of Sociology at Chaffey College.
DINA CASTRO: When I was nine years old,
we migrated from Nicaragua.
And when I was in middle school, that
was the first time I met someone from the Philippines.
And, to me, that was so amazing.
I would ask that student, can you
tell me more about your country, your culture, your tradition?
I wanted to find out more.
Sociology is an awareness to different cultures, traditions,
and societies.
My name is Dina Castro, and my majors here at Chaffey College
were sociology and psychology.

ANTHONY GUARACHA: Some of the careers
that students can pursue with a major in sociology
would be social services, counseling, the law
enforcement, can go on to education as well,
and also participate in marketing, management.
There's a variety of ways that individuals
can use their degree and reach their career goals as well.
DINA CASTRO: I am planning to transfer
to a four-year university.
And, once I graduate, I'll be able to use my associate's
degree in sociology to work with kids, especially
in middle school.
ANTHONY GUARACHA: If you're interested in learning
about yourself, society, interactions,
behaviors between groups, why things are the way they are,
and why society is set up the way it is,
take a sociology class and participate and join
the sociological program.
DINA CASTRO: I love my instructors.
My instructors were the reason why I stayed here.
The fact that I'm graduating, it's amazing to me.
My age with three kids, being a woman,
it's a major accomplishment.
And that I owe it, a lot, to my instructors.
I finish what I started here.
So I would always remember Chaffey.
I would always think about that college
that made it happen for me.
