My teachers have a few predictions:
1. Diversity..this is the best option to get as there is just so much you can write about this one and different perspectives on it.
2. Patriarchy
3. Childhood <-- honestly I would hate that.

I'm hoping either diversity or patriarchy for the 30 markers. The 15 mark could be a few things, but they haven't asked a question on decrease in marriages or increase in cohabitation ever (or in a while?)

What exactly would be childhood lol? Sorry..

Does anyone have any good pieces of research for the 10 and 15 mark questions? I already have a few but more would be appreciated.

Hay thanks for answering the question but what would you write for patriarchy ... Apart from a feminist viewpoint

I think the 15 mark will be on cohabitation, divorce or marriage. Good luck x

Any of them suits me fine, I know the statistics and arguments so well for them. Fingers crossed.

My teacher thinks Childhood or Marxist perspectives of the family for 30 marker since neither of these have ever been used for it

Ahh well they should have and it's a shame because it's a pretty easy one to remember...
I've attached my planned answer just in case, not sure how much help it'll be so close to the exam but better than nothing I suppose!

Did everyone else struggle for time? I did 15 and 30 marks first. Then 10 mark and 5 mark but I didn't have enough time to answer them properly..

Hi, I wrote about the following
Schooling
Media-McRobbie's study on girl power in magazines
Rise in Girl Power- Osersby
Disposable income
Boys and girls being socialised differently-McRobbie's Bedroom culture study
Pester-power to get the things they want

I might have wrote other things but I can't remember from the top of my head.
