Is turning to crime a choice? Does a ‘gender gap’ exist within the education system? Is the divorce rate rising? Does social class still exist in society? Is gender a social construct? How has British society changed over the last 50 years? These are some of the questions that Sociology, the study of human society and its institutions, seeks to answer. For most students, Sociology is more than just an academic discipline, it's a means to develop tools and skills to understand and shape the society we currently live in. We look at various institutions in society, such as the family, the education system, the government and criminal justice system, religion, the healthcare system and much more. By critically examining evidence relating to British and international societies, you develop the ability to comprehend the social world you live in but also consider what future societies may look like. Sociology lessons will challenge you and encourage you to go ‘beyond the textbook’ as we not only study sociological thought and research but also discover evidence from sources that are often overlooked but still prove to be insightful, such as newspaper articles, social media, film, and music.
