It went very well thankyou, I knew a lot about social class so the culture part was very good, however the youth section was difficult and times, but i think altogether i achieved a B because i lacked a bit on the youth side.

How about you?
Omg the socialisation part was decent I was so relieved! Who does the family unit?

I did! The question on dark side on the family I found hard and section one was okay, what did you say about working class identity and the source?

I spoke about the leisure time and lack of importance of education in working class (leading to manual labor like the source)

Also for dark side of the family omg i was so surprised to see that question: i spoke about radicals feminists and rape, and I spoke about marginalised masculinity with child abuse and thats all I could do in the time that we had

Wby?

I wrote about Dobash + Dobash and Warm bath theory with Benston/Zaretsky's theories about unpaid domestic labour/ maintaining their husbands for society which could lead to abuse

I wrote very similar to you! hopefully the overall grade boundaries are too bad.

And for the nuclear family being most dominant, what did I you write about? I spoke about murdock, studying 250 societies nuclear family most dominant/ four fictions and parsons with primary socialisation and stabilising adult personalities.

I wrote about murdoch too, but said it may be outdated. I mentioned post modernism saying it wouldnt. Also, i mentioned Althusser and Coopers ISA and ISCD of how ruling class ideology would want the nuclear family to stay dominant.
