How do we influence one another as individuals and groups? What are the ways in which social factors affect what we do and how we think? You’ll examine these types of questions and more.
Sociology explores the nature of society, human relationships and behaviour, power, identity, conflict and development. You’ll examine issues such as inequality, migration and social change, in real-world settings.
