AQA A-level Sociology new 1, 2 &amp; 3: 7192 - 08, 15 &amp; 20 Jun 2017 [Exam Discussion]

For the 20 marker on families I talked about
Functionalism- Murdock/ Parsons geographical and social mobility. Marxists- inheritence of property anc private property, ideological functions, source of profits. Feminism- liberal, radical, marxism and feminism and the New Right and how they are critical of single parent families- Charles Murray believes the state offers a perverse incentive and rewards irresponsible behaviour. Is that okay or would I have needed more detail?

Wasn't the whole question just asking about functionalist views on the family?

No it was to evaluate the Functionalist view on the family that's why I addressed Marxism, Feminism and the New Right. Did anyone else do this??

Ok, I gave Functonalism in depth then talked about Marxism, New Right and Feminism just touched on all the main areas. For the 20 marker for beliefs I talked about secularisation, religion is changing- people believing without belonging (Davie), Lyon- postmodern religion, religious market theory (Stark and Bainbridge). Then talked about how science is an open belief system and religion is closed. Both are important in our lives- science has tranformed how we live- eradicated diseases, improved standards of living, changed how we live, learn, work and communicate etc. It has also caused global warming, pollution, war, genocide etc is that okay??

The science stuff has got nothing to do with the role of the family. -nvm

The 10 markers for families- two ways in which changing gender roles have affected children
joint conjugal roles- both couples involved in paid work, childcare, shared leisure time etc
more women in paid work - 53% in 1971 to 67% in 2013
child centred family
smaller family sizes
the next 10 marker on migration affecting the family- I talked about an increase in single parent families with Africian carribeans and increase in Asian extended families etc.
Beliefs- 10 marker- I talked about relative deprivation and marginality for why reasons why people join sects
next 10 marker on how religion can promote social change- Weber- the Protestant ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism and the American Civil Rights Movement. What did you guys write?

That's fine then as long as you focused on functionalism the most and used the others as evaluation

Yeah well I did 4 main paragraphs on functionalism and then at the end of each paragraph I briefly critiqued them with the other theories

Yeah that sounds great thanks!☺ see for the 20 marker on beliefs does it matter how you structured it? I remember it asking whether or not science has more of an influence than religion but as long as you address both will it be okay??

Thank you! I gave both sides- talked about secularisation, then how religion is changing, cultural defence and transition. Science is open while religion is closed. The impact of science both positives and negatives. Ultimately the two have a great influence on our lives today
