Sociology? What is it?

[Saz]

Hi, I'm thinking about my A levels and what to choose. My friend suggested Sociology may be good for me. I don't have a clue what it is. Wondered if anyone could let me know?

And what kind of people would be good at it..

Thanks a lot guys!

Hey,

I would defo recommend it I really enjoyed the first year, but like anything you need to have the right teacher, i dont know the exam board your sociology be with so I would talk to the teacher and get there advice about the subject matter and see if you like the teacher.

Good luck, if you do it your mind will be blown (in a good way!)

The study of society. I did this as an A level and really enjoyed it, it opened my eyes to lots of things going on in the world. We studied research methods, the family, work, gender, religion and other things too.

It is the study of social issues and influences in society. You look at family life, education and the famous nature vs nurture debate. It is a very interesting course accompanys well with criminology and psychology :-)

ppl are good at it who are interested in culuture, society and different belief systems.
