Sociology A-level What this course is about? |
We are all part of society. Our actions shape society and in turn society influences who we are. Yet how much do we understand about it? This is where sociology comes in. The role of the sociologist is to try to make sense of the human world. Sociology studies how society works. It will help you to understand how individuals fit into a wider social network and encourage you to question beliefs about society which you may have previously taken for granted. Sociologists are interested in why society works in the way that it does and the extent to which our behaviour and opportunities can be shaped by our social class, age, gender and ethnicity. You may be interested in sociology if you are curious or concerned about the world in which we live. Sociology is about your life and the world around you. It is a subject that you will have experience of and one that will help you understand many aspects of your future. |
