Politics impacts upon all of our lives in many ways whether we are aware of it or not. As such Government and Politics allows us to understand and analyse the ways in which our society is governed, who makes decisions on our behalf, how we can influence these decisions and the intricate processes that govern our society. The subject is compatible with many others offered in 6th form as it provides a unique perspective on the world around us but it particularly complements other subjects offered in the Humanities subject area such as History and Sociology.
