This interactive multi-use learning session is of particular interest to Sociology Teachers it focuses on a wide range of topics such as:
- The nature of society
- The differences between functioning and dysfunctional societies
- What helps societies to function
- Social justice and creating a fair society
- The relationship between individuals & society
We’ve aimed to cover as many issues as possible when it comes to finding engaging philosophical and ethical issues for young learners to debate and discuss in relation to sociology!
The big question asked in this session is “To what extent is inequality necessary for society to function?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical and ethical questions such as:
-
What is the purpose of the government?
-
What would society be like without laws?
-
What is the difference between a functional and a dysfunctional society?
-
Why do some people succeed in life whilst others fail?
-
Should we increase taxes on the very wealthy in order to pay for public services?
Students will also analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical and ethical claims such as: -
“We live in a fair and just society”
-
“I can think of one way to improve the political system in this country”
-
“Human beings were better off living in small tribes (e.g. 20,000 years ago) than living in a modern society”
-
“People in this society are not actually free: even if they think and believe otherwise”
-
“The rich deserve to be rich, the poor deserve to be poor.”
-
“Feminism has made society a better place for both men and women”
This session uses our unique format for philosophy teaching resources and features an integrated menu that allows teachers to select from a variety of starter, main, plenary, assessment and end-of-lesson reflection activities.
