Sociology offers students the chance to gain a better understanding of the society in which they live. It is a subject that challenges existing views and encourages critical thinking. Politics, including government policy, is integral to the course and this requires diverse learning resources such as newspapers, television, and the Internet. Sociology is an evidence-based subject. It considers different theoretical perspectives which are supported or refuted by research. If we know the cause of social problems the knowledge may be used to design social policies.
