By taking a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Sociology, you can move between these groupings and take the courses that interest you. Cultural sociology It explores cultural phenomena and how they shape and are shaped by societies. You can study the world of image and representation in areas such as the media. Applied sociology and social policy Social policy is concerned with systems of government and community response to perceived social problems, such as health, illness and wellbeing.

Some of the most important examples are sexuality, procreation and intimate relationships.
