Sociology is the study of society - the world all around you. Sociologists study patterns of human behaviour and belief investigating how this affects you, your identity, your opportunities and your behaviour. It investigates relationships between people, their social groups and institutions around them - in other words, it considers people like you and how social class, gender and ethnicity affect opportunities and how you are influenced by your family, school and religious beliefs. Sociologists try to understand and answer questions on the world around us; it is a subject where different perspectives on topics exist as sociologists rarely agree with each other. Sociology looks at contemporary issues and some of the topics you will consider if you choose to study it are all around you; in fact you will probably already have an opinion on them: ? Why do people commit crime? ? Do men really do more housework than they use too? ? What is the role of education and what is it that really makes a student achieve well? ? Why do people join religious sects and how much influence does religion have on a person?s actions? ? Is the family still important or is it an out-dated id ? How much freedom do people have to act as they want too or are we controlled by others? ? Why do students form subcultures to rebel against their school? ? Are we really oppressed by the society we live in because of our social class or our gender?
