Everyday life may appear random and hectic; however, Sociologists believe that we can identify patterns of behaviour. Studying Sociology will make you more aware of the society you exist within which enable you to gain an insight into human social behaviour. By studying Sociology you will learn about a variety of intriguing and fascinating sociological topics such as education, the media, family and criminal behaviour.
