Oh think I get it
What would you write for the family not losing its functions.....if it's an assess question

What does the role of education do?

For the family losing its functions you talk about Functionalism and Parson's functional fit theory:

In pre-industrial society, the extended three-generational family was a multi-functional unit; it was a unit of both consumption AND production as they all lived together and worked on agriculture in their own village.

Movement from pre-industrial to modern industrial society has meant that the geographically and socially mobile workforce is needed. This is where the two-generational nuclear family steps in. The nuclear family has lost functions and has boiled down to two irreducible functions:
-Socialisation of the young: teaching them the norms and values so that they are equipped with the skills needed to enter the workforce.
-Stabilisation of adult personalities: when workers return home they can release their anger and tension, enabling them to return to work the next day feeling refreshed and ready to work - it is functional for the economy.

I don't think it would come up as a 24 marker though - there isn't enough to write.

Can someone confirm is this is enough? For the paper 1? Please!!!

Is that all of it?

Im pretty sure thats all of it for paper 1 I just wanted to be sure.

A lot of people seem to think demography or feminism will come up, I'd say feminism has a high chance since its never come up before

Came up in 2011

Considering it came up 5 years ago I'd say it has a higher chance of coming up than Functionalism or Marxism

Yup
I'm very sure it will come up
Just wanna know what the other topic till be

Demography keeps getting a lot of predictions, ageing population came up in 2014 June though so I'm not sure

birth rates and death rates haven't came up as a 24 marker for ages.

when we say feminism are we talking about family theories?

e.g. 'using material from item b and elsewhere, assess the contribution of feminist theories / feminist sociologists to our understanding if the family' (24m)
