AQA Sociology Unit 1 17/05 & Unit 2 23/05 - Official Thread 2016

I said about -domestic division on labour- funct, March of progress and feminism
- impact of women working- lagged adaption, commercialisation of housework, dual burden and same sex couples
- resources and decision making such as Pahl and voglers types of control
- domestic violence
Not sure any of that is right though!! What did you write?

Yeah! I also wrote those but someone said thy tried to trick us into the gender area in that Q? Which I don't get

I don't think that's true it seemed like a pretty clear question they were asking. What does that even mean? The answer says about gender roles basically?

What did you do for the second 24 marker? Come to think of it I've defo made a mess of that essay

Guy's what were the actual responses for the 10 marker???, because I think I wrote something totally different

Does anyone know what you need to get a C or a B overall on the education paper?

I didn't like the 10 marker.I had to sit for a while to come up with something plausible because the question was so vague. I ended up writing about the Marxists perspective on education and the two roles it performs :/

1. Compensatory Education Q - Gov Intervention to help materially deprived homes from underachievement by providing extra support. Often found in working class families.

2. Marketisation Q - I talked about parentocracy and how it gives parents more control through league tables etc.

3. 6 marker - I used Rise In Feminism (laws to support equality), Changing Family patters (less divorce stigma) and intro to GCSE and Coursework

4. 10 marker - I talked about Setting + Streaming and Role Allocation//Social Hierachy for the future workforce

5. 20 marker(needed to be focused on parents and family control) Cultural Deprivation - Parents level of interest, experience, speech patterns ALSO material deprivation with the amount of income they get. And then briefly talked about internal factors such as subcultures and labelling/SFP.

What was question 2 again?

Hi those who did the old spec if you remember could you please tell me what came up as I'm doing the new spec and I highly doubt they'll give us the same families and households question!

Yeah same! I focused more on family diversity than the functions of the traditional family urgh, what did u do for it?
