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

Guys what came up in the exam
I'm resitting the old unit so may be a link of what may come up

2 marker - define compensatory edu
6 marker - polices for girls achievement in last 40 years (not educ policies, just policies)
10 marker - how functions of education affect pupils achievement
20 marker - evaluate how social class external factors are most important
20 marker - group interviews

I find childhood so hard to remember any tips??

Is the layout of the Families and Households paper the same as Education where there were 2x2 marks 1x6 mark 1x10 mark and 2x20 mark.

Some Main sociologists for childhood are:
Aries- beleives that childhood before industrialisation was seen as no different to adulthood. I.e children had to work like adults, Wear same clothes, participate in their leisure activities etc

Benedict- childhood before industrialisation was basically based on work and children were not seen as vulnerable etc

Shorter- high infant mortality rate in preindustrial times was a result of child neglect..

Postman - childhood is disappearing in contemporary society-, not much difference between adults and children. Children exposed to too much i.e. through tv , internet

Palmer - childhood is not disappearing- still evidence of children's separate games etc
Opie- toxic childhood
