About this subject
Social issues are collective lived experiences that shape and impact our everyday lives. Understanding the underpinning forces that interact and create particular social challenges is essential for making sense of how we live and think about our contributions towards social change. This subject provides you with an opportunity to develop sociological insights into contemporary social issues. Key sociological theories and concepts will be introduced to explore current examples of social challenges, including issues related to inequality, social justice, human rights, ageing, disability, sexuality, racism, mental health, education, and more. You will gain a deeper understanding of how social structures and cultural norms inform broader social issues and, in particular, approaches to social care. Please Note: All students studying at Murdoch University will need to complete the compulsory unit, Murdoch Academic Passport (MAP100), which only takes 2-3 hours to complete online.
