Sociology is structured as a linear course allowing students to study the familiar social world with a more analytical eye. You will explore such questions as: What is the appeal of youth cultures? How does the media depict young people? And what is the relationship between deviance and youth culture? In Education, you will cover such questions as: Why are girls outperforming boys at GCSE? Does competition between schools raise standards? What is the function of education in society? and What factors affect educational attainment? In addition you will have the opportunity to learn about inequality in Society, where you will consider such questions as: Does our gender, ethnicity or class have an impact on our chances in life? The final unit, Crime and Deviance, will involve investigating questions such as: Who commits crime and why? How should we punish and prevent crime? and What is the role of the media in crime? Throughout the course, you will critically evaluate the methodology used by sociologists when you explore these topics and the theme of sociology in the global context underlies all units.
