and explain shifts in knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behaviour and their impact on society.

Students will critically analyse how and why cultural, social, and behavioural patterns change

over time. They will explore the ideas of social theorists and use those ideas to analyse cause

of and responses to challenges such as technological change, deviance, and global inequalities.

Students will explore ways in which social science research methods can be used t study social

change.
