Overview

Explore how people achieve, or are given, social status and whether gender, class or ethnicity impacts the opportunities available to us. Examine how even our personalities, values and outlook are shaped by the cultures we belong to, and investigate the role of the media in promoting the ideologies of the powerful. Develop a deeper understanding of issues like social justice, poverty, discrimination, migration, crime and punishment, developmental psychology, celebrity culture and the social consequences of the climate crisis. Finally, you will be encouraged to find and follow your own passion within the subject by undertaking independent research, and then discovering how social change can come about through collective action and activism.
