Im struggling with the 33 markers for mass media. Any tips on how to reach the top bands?

Just use your content to form an argument, but evaluate all theories and approaches as you go along, so you can form a distinct conclusion :smile:

Calvinist beliefs emerged in Northern Europe. they believed in divine transendence, ascentism, so refraining from luxuries, predestination and having a 'calling' to undergo hard work. this is how they refrained from conforming to the consumerist world around them, henceforth creating social change.

With hinduism, it's the same idea, just it doesnt involve calvinism, and wasnt in Europe.
Hope this helps hun x

Thanks you gem x

are the 18/33 markers from previous years more likely to come up as 9 markers for unit 3 rather than an essay again?

No that's right- you'll find when you get all the feminist stuff together and the criticisms its comes out as quite a lot. Youve got Simone de Beauvoir. Aldridge against Burka's, Watson who's pro burka, Marx fems, liberal fems, radical fems

The exam question last year ‘Religion today helps societies to remain stable and to avoid conflict.’
To what extent do sociological arguments and evidence support this view?

Is this relgion as a conservative force vs initiator for change?

So predictions for beliefs seem to be between...

- Fuctionalism
- Fundamnetalism/Globalisation
- Postmodernism
-Secularsiation

And ideology, but what ideology? Science as a belief system?
