SOCIOLOGY

 

Sociology is the study of human society, social behavior, and the various structures and institutions that shape people's lives. As a unit, sociology introduces learners to the basic concepts, theories, and methods used to understand how individuals interact within groups, how societies are organized, and how social change occurs.

The unit explores:

  • The foundations of sociology, including key thinkers like Auguste Comte, Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, and Max Weber.

  • Core concepts such as culture, norms, values, roles, and socialization.

  • The functioning of social institutions like family, education, religion, and government.

  • Social issues such as inequality, deviance, and social stratification.

  • Different sociological perspectives (functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism).

  • Research methods used in sociology, emphasizing both qualitative and quantitative approaches.

Overall, the sociology unit helps students critically analyze society and understand how human behavior is influenced by social structures, culture, and group dynamics.

HEALTH AND DEVELOPLMENT

The Health and Development unit typically focuses on understanding how various factors influence physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development across the human lifespan. It is often part of health and social care courses. The Health and Development unit explores how people grow and develop from infancy to old age. It examines key life stages and the physical, emotional, and social changes that occur at each stage. The unit also looks at the impact of factors such as genetics, environment, lifestyle choices, and life events (e.g., illness, relationships, or trauma) on health and development. Students learn to apply this knowledge in real-life health and social care settings.
