Sociology involves studying human social life in groups and societies. Sociologists investigate and explain our social world and the different behaviour of people. They are particularly interested in understanding the ways in which society influences us and shapes our daily lives and how aspects of society change e.g. in relation to social attitudes in society to the roles of men and women. As a sociology student you will explore and ask questions about the workings of the society you live in. Studying sociology will help you to understand how society is organised, and to make sense of your own experiences in it. Sociology can be thought provoking and challenging because it encourages us to think carefully and sometimes to question your own views and assumptions. You will study contemporary British society and examine its main social structures, such as the family, education and mass media. You will also explore what are known as the ‘social processes’ that influence us, such as socialisation and social control, as well as some of the controversial social issues relating to sociology, such as the distribution of wealth, poverty and teenage crime. In Year 12 the topics covered include: Introduction to Sociology Family and Households Education and Research methods
