Sociology is the study of people in social groups, and society. It is concerned with the society in which live; how it is organised; the similarities and differences between groups of people; how people’s ideas are formed; how people live; and are the ways in which we do things the only ways, the most efficient ways and the fairest ways? Some typical Sociological questions are shown below:

Why are girls doing better at school than boys?
Is crime on the increase?
How can crime be tackled?
Is marriage in decline?
Are men doing their fair share of housework?
How different are families today to the types of family that existed in the past?
Is religion in decline?
