By starting from an early age, a subject like sociology should revolve around understanding and not method. By understanding the many links and opinions of sociologists, it will allow you as a student further develop your analytic skills as well. For example, in terms of Domestic abuse in the family section of a Sociology A level module, you begin to understand the many opinions and understandings of why it's carried around. Marxists would believe it's due to the capitalist society, and the frustrations and unhappiness that the men carry out in the work place is then frustrated and transferred to anger at the home. Furthermore,linking to a feminist view point , you can quote a famous feminist which is Ansley who describes women as "takers of sh*t".
