Sociology undergraduate, Ronda Daniel, on her reasons for studying sociology. Sociology is so very often confused with psychology. Whilst the two are closely linked, they are very different.

It comprises of relationships, between individuals, groups and institutions; how society survives, and whether this is for the greater good or the benefit of a few.
