change. They understand the interactions and flows between the

regional, national and international.

Geography GCSE

Professor David

Lambert, one of todays

most influential

Geographers

Are you interested in who makes decisions about the

environment we live in?

The challenges of global peace

and security, economic and social

development, human rights,

humanitarian issues and international

law offer a demanding yet fulfilling

career area for some geographers. In

our increasingly interconnected world

this sector is a possible employment

area for geographers.

that we may need to

face.

With the person next to you, discuss these questions…

• Were you born knowing how to use a knife and fork?

• Were you born knowing not to put your fingers into an electric socket?

• Were you born knowing how to greet people and be polite?

• Were you born knowing how to act like a boy or a girl?

If you weren’t born knowing all of this, then how do you know it now?

What happens if you weren’t taught these behaviours by these people?

Why choose GCSE Sociology?

What is Sociology?

Sociology is the study of the world around you. More

specifically, it looks at the relationship that each one of us has

with our environment. The study of sociology helps us to

understand how individuals fit into wider social networks and

encourages you to question all pre-existing ideas that you

have about the world around you. Sociologists look at how

age, race, gender, social class affects the opportunities that

we are given in life and how this shapes our behaviour.

• Why are young black people eight times more

likely to be stopped and searched than white

people?

• Are we born human or do we become human?

• Why do girls do better at school than boys?

• What happens to a child when they are not

raised by human beings?

• Does society control us?

• What does it mean to be poor in Britain today?

These are some of the questions we look at in GCSE Sociology

‘Sociology is

interesting and

exciting! You learn so

much. Society is much

more complex than

you’d think!’

Rosie Place

‘I really enjoyed studying crime and

deviance. It really made me question

the beliefs and stereotypes that I held.’

Joe Rowe

A good sociology student is someone who is open minded. You must be accepting of the fact that there are

many different perspectives on the issues we study

What do you need to study Sociology?

However, as we are all part of society in some

form or another, we can all bring something to a

sociology classroom!

‘I chose Sociology because it

was something different that

I had never studied before.

We are all a part of society

and it’s really fascinating

when you begin to

understand the role that you

play in it.’

Rebecca Stapleton

‘I enjoy Sociology because it’s relevant. We discuss

issues that are happening worldwide today and try

to understand why they are happening.’

Megan Shapland

What will I study if I choose History?

The History of Medicine

In this study you will examine how key factors such as Government, War, Communication, and Individuals have shaped the world of Medicine over the last 2000 years from the Romans to the 20th Century. There are several areas which cross over with GCSE Science meaning the courses complement each other well.

The Transformation of Surgery

An operation during the early 1800s was an almost guaranteed death sentence. How were these problems overcome? In this study you will investigate how the key problems of Pain, Infection, and Bleeding were conquered. You will investigate a wide range of sources to find the answers and in the process learn valuable investigation and reporting skills.

THESE STUDIES ARE SUPPORTED BY A TRIP TO LONDON

In this study you will examine the tactics employed by both sides and develop an understanding of the reaction to the war in both countries. You will learn through examining sources, films, and songs.

Germany 1919-39

What was it like to live in Germany between the wars? How did Hitler achieve power? Why did the German people follow his policies? Did anybody oppose him? In this study you will examine how Germany attempted to rebuild after WW1 and why that process failed to the point that Hitler was able to seize power.
