James Branca is a veteran real estate investor and developer who has been in the industry since 1988. He began with a series of projects in New York City, but after seven years began focusing his attention on properties in the Hamptons on Long Island, New York.
He has been successful in the real estate business but he did not go right into it after completing his education. He attended Hunter College in New York, where he majored in sociology and graduated with honors in 1985.
There is more than one definition of what sociology is, but in the broadest sense it is the study of society. It is a discipline that focuses on how people interact with each other, and how behavior is influenced by various social structures, institutions, and categories. The field originated during the nineteenth century and was heavily influenced by the industrial revolution.
There are a number of sub-topics related to sociology. One area, for example, is family, and it examines such subjects as marriage and divorce, child rearing, and domestic abuse. Sociologists are interested in finding out how these aspects of the family differ from one culture to the next. Another area is social inequality, which studies the unequal distribution of power, privilege and prestige in society. The sociologists who study this look at differences and inequalities in race, gender, and social class.
One of the newer fields in sociology is globalization. This is the study of the economic, political and cultural aspects and implications of a globally integrated society.
As a real estate investor and developer, James Branca has completed more than two dozen Hamptons projects since 1995.
