2 Year Courses - Sociology

AS-level and A-level

The world is changing faster than ever before. Traditional ways of thinking and acting have been replaced as revolutions such as those of gender and I.C.T. have transformed society.

Sociology tries to understand the changes occurring in modern society. By doing this it helps us to understand how our own lives are shaped and influenced by the social world around us.

Sociology promotes imagination and criticism. Through an introduction to a variety of ways at looking at societies it challenges our taken-forgranted assumptions of how things are.

Topics Analysed Include:

• Family
• Education
• Crime and Deviance
• Religion

This course goes especially well with Politics and Psychology.
