Frequently Asked Questions About

A-level Sociology

blank
Sociology scientifically studies human society, including patterns of social relationships, social interaction, institutions (family, education, state, etc.), and culture. The subject helps to understand how society shapes individual behavior and vice versa.
Sociology demands critical thinking to see beyond common assumptions ("common sense"), analyzing the structures and hidden rules behind social behavior. It is a science with its own methods and theories, not merely everyday observation.
These theories provide different lenses and analytical frameworks to interpret and understand social phenomena, helping to clarify how society functions, power relations, and the causes of social stability and change.
Understanding research methods (surveys, interviews, observation, secondary data analysis, etc.) helps students assess the reliability and value of sociological evidence, identify potential biases, and understand how sociological knowledge is created and verified.
Very important. Essay writing is the main form of assessment, requiring students to demonstrate understanding of theory, apply it to analyze specific social issues, use evidence from studies, and argue logically and coherently.
Intertu helps systematize complex sociological theories, provides examples and real-world case studies to analyze contemporary social issues through multiple lenses, develops skills in evaluating research methods, and particularly, hones analytical and critical essay writing skills according to A-Level standards.
