Why Study Sociology?
Sociology is the study of how society is organized and how we experience life. It is challenging and exciting. Do ASBOs prevent or perpetuate crime? Why are we all so fixated on celebrity? Do we really live in a ‘classless society’? Using interviews with current sociology students, this DVD shows why sociology is so popular and its students so passionate.
