Sociology teaches students about crime, religion, gender, politics, class and race, among a plethora of other topical elements of culture. It also provides students with vital skills like critical thinking, contextual evaluation and data collection, presentation and analysis. These are comparable to those learned in science, maths and English. These are abilities which will be imperative for future generations to possess in order to tackle social issues and contribute to a progressive society.
