2. Course description Society is all around us. It's what we live and breathe every day, so why do some people view it so differently from others? That's what this A-Level Sociology course aims to find out. If you've ever watched or read the news and questioned why someone does what they do, then you'll love this course. We'll explore what a society is, and find out why it works, or even, if it does actually work! You might agree with those who think it doesn't work effectively. You'll learn about all the different ways of looking at the world, including functionalism, Marxism, feminism and postmodernism, and delve into how these affect complex issues like gender, class, ethnicity and age. As you look at different kinds of sociological research and studies, you'll attempt to answer questions like why some people push into the queue and others don't, why those who have been to private schools tend to rule our society, and why some people become criminals and even terrorists. If you enjoy current affairs and like to debate and question the way things are, you'll be fascinated by topics in this course such as religious sects, family diversity, domestic violence and deviant attitudes.
