Sociology

UPDATED 20161018 13:56:17

One of the most important reasons for studying Sociology today is that it helps make sense of our rapidly changing world. Every year about 31,000 students start A Level Sociology courses. About 22,000 start a university degree in the subject. It is clearly popular, so what is it? Sociology is the study of society and the social behaviour of the people in it. Everyone knows something about society – they are part of it. However, sociologists look beyond “common sense views” to study society and its structures in a reasoned and disciplined way, trying to explain what lies beneath the surface.
