QUESTION 1
1.1 Definition of Sociology
Sociology is the study of how people live together in groups and how their behaviour is
shaped by society. It looks at relationships between individuals, families, schools,
communities and larger social institutions. Sociology helps us understand why people act in
certain ways and how social rules, values and power influence everyday life. It also
encourages us to question practices we take for granted and to see how society affects
opportunities, behaviour and social change.
1.2 Meaning of Education
Education is the process through which people gain knowledge, skills, values and attitudes
that help them function in society. It develops thinking, reasoning and judgment, and
prepares individuals for adult life. Education is not fixed but changes as society changes.
