Sociology is the study of society. Sociologists put society under the microscope and ask ‘what do we notice?’, ‘why are things the way they are?’ and ‘what is really going on here?’ Sociology is a discursive subject which demands critical thinking, the ability to look at things from alternative perspectives and encourages students to look at the ‘bigger picture’.
