6. Four sentences: A definition with some development, an example with some further development

7. Four sentences: What is Sociology
Four sentences: What is Sociology? Definition: Sociology is an academic subject that seeks to explain how society works by identifying patterns in behaviour Development: The subject encourages students to question and never accept explanations about societal issues without analysing these complex factors. Example: For example, when studying crime and deviance it would be easy to assume that black men are more criminal than other ethnicities because this group is over represented in jails. Further development: However, through careful research it is clear that there are many reasons that help explain why there are more black men are in prison. For example, Stuart Hall (1979) argued that black men were the victims of police labelling and scapegoating.
