The Sociology GCSE Course asks questions such as: Why are there poor people and rich people? Why is it "right" to wear some clothes but not others (or none at all!)? Is there such a thing as "society"? With the aid of entertaining cartoons and numerous activities, this stimulating home study course analyses questions like these and casts a new slant on many aspects of modern life.
Sociology is the study of human society. As a discipline it embraces a variety of viewpoints all of which, however, share the common pursuit of increasing our understanding of the social world. Sociology places the individual within a social context. It is concerned with the study of social structures, social processes and social issues. In pursuit of this study it has developed a unique and distinctive range of concepts applicable to any human society.
Each lesson of the Sociology GCSE course begins with a set of clearly stated objectives and an explanation of its place in the overall programme of study.
Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self-assessment questions, and there is guidance for the preparation of coursework. There are ten tutor-marked assignments including two practice exam papers. No previous knowledge of the subject is assumed or required.
