Marxist explanations of ethnic inequality is predicted as a 40 marker but the 40 marker last year was Assess Marx's view on social class? My teacher thinks its likely that ethnicity will come up in either the 20 or 40 mark however New Right has never been asked before so could be 40 mark.

they would never ask new rights as a question

I don't think they would ask New Right explanations for ethnic inequalities as that would be pretty difficult - more likely to be Outline and assess New Right arguments for inequality (in general), then talk about Murray, Saunders, Schlafly, Dennis etc.

Why not, as it's on the OCR spec as Section B key question 2 (explanations for inequality) where every other explanation has been asked - directly or indirectly.
2018 - Functionalist
2019 - feminist/marxist
2021 - Weber
2022 - Marx.

yeah very unlikely

Reply 68

then what could it be? i heard lots about marx on ethic inequality? but if not marx then what? could it possibly be feminism on inequality in general?

could it maybe be on functionalists on social class? only ever asked about functionalism on ethnic inequality so could that bw possible. and it was in 2018.
i feel like the 40 marker must be either: functionalism on social class, marxism on ethnic inequality or new right on inequality in general.
what are your thoughts?

functionalism and social class were asked in 2017, 2018 was cultural theories on lack of assimilation of ethnic minorities, i literally have no clue bc i would’ve said marx on ethnicity as well but marx came up last year so that’s unlikely. do u think it’s likely the 20 marker could be on age again this year since it was last year there are way too many studies for age

Reply 71

Functionalism/New Right on gender inequality could be the 40 marker as it has never been asked before.

Also that means they have asked the same theory two years in a row (functionalism for both 2017 & 2018), which means that it is still likely that if they ask about Marxism this year again.

theres never rlly been a question on how groups are advantaged do u think that come up as a 20 marker?

Reply 75

really not sure but seeing as its on social inequality i imagine they'd stick to how people are disadvantaged or affected. I could be wrong however. They could ask something in the lines of 'asses the view that some social classes have greater advantages in the woekplace etc'
what do others think?
tbh tho 20 markers are less of a worry for me and im trying to focus more on the 40 marker

what are the chances that they ask about a specific type of inequality like health, workplace, education, etc? my teacher said i need to learn stats for at least 3 different types but i'm not sure if i should risk it.

also what about feminism for the 40 marker? i haven't seen anyone in here mention it and they haven't given a pure feminist theories question ever.

workplace is likely as it’s on the spec and they’ve asked it before but i don’t think they will on education and health, how many studies would u usually put for the 20 markers?
