This point of view doesn't say that free choice isn't important; it just shows how people are connected to each other and to communities in ways that aren't always obvious. Studies of persuasion help us understand how people's ideas change, while studies of social identity help us understand issues of belonging and discrimination. You can utilize social psychology for more than simply schoolwork.
