Sociology A Level

What the college says
Why am I at school? That's a question pupils (and teachers!) have often asked! Sociology has the answer! In fact it has many different answers to this question, and other questions as well. That's the interesting aspect of Sociology. There's no right or wrong, but much intelligent argument and debate.
