Sociology
Sociology GCSE (AQA 8192) is an option to study in KS4.
Sociology studies the structure and ‘functions’ of society. Pupils will develop a greater knowledge of how our modern society works: How we become the people we are; what influence nature has on us over our upbringing and the people around us (nurture). It is a chance to study and debate many of the current issues faced by society today, for example: poverty; inequality and welfare; education; crime; media; family, and so on.
