Arguably our lives, including mine, have been continually governed by the social environment and the sophisticated way in which society has evolved and progressed. My interest in Sociology was sparked by my love for science and learning about how everything works. As I grew older my passion for science evolved towards social sciences. The way in which we have all been affected in many different subtle ways and my increased ability to examine this, has motivated me to want to know more about Sociology, and therefore the world around me, in particular the education system.
