Sociology - AS / A2
Sociology is a challenging subject that studies contemporary society. Sociologists explain why society is organised in the way it is and we act in the way we do. Sociology asks questions, develops arguments and explains what is going on in the world around us. It explains the pattern of disadvantage in society and shows how gender, social class, ethnicity and age all affect individuals’ chances of success in life.
