Robert Ades has narrated this article for you to listen to.
‘Women are more religious because they are socialised to be obedient and passive.’
‘In Latin America, men often spend 20-40 per cent of the household’s income on alcohol, as well as further spending on tobacco, gambling and prostitutes.’
‘The Challenger space shuttle disaster in 1986 is an example of state-initiated corporate crime.’
All examples taken verbatim from the most common sociology A-level course book (by Napier Press) used by students for the AQA syllabus, the most commonly used exam board. They lack any qualifying language or citation but are presented as fact.

Sociology as a school subject is a soup of half-baked old-left apologist propaganda, daft pub conspiracy theories, self-defeating second-wave feminist rants and an actively denied undercurrent of western Christian superiority.
