AQA 2018 A Level Sociology paper 2
Watch
Announcements
How does the layout of the second paper work? Are you given multiple options from both section A and section B or do you not have a choice of which topic from which section to answer? For example if in section A there are 4 topics, do i have the freedom to choose which topic i answer or will i have to answer a certain topic? Please can someone help because i am very confused.

For Families and Households we have been told could be a 20 marker on theories of the family or couples. For 10 markers they seem keen on globalisation and postmodernism this year.
Hope this helps

How was paper 2 everyone?
I do families and households, and media.
Anyone else doing media I’m so glad the hypodermic syringe came up!
The families and households but I wasn’t too happy about but I still answers the questions ok-ish.
I also found it really hard to put sociologists down but I could identify what a Marxist would think or feminist overall.
Could have gone better, could have been a lot worse

i hadnt revised properly for beliefs but it wasnt too bad
globalisation is the increasing interconnectedness of society such as immigration, the iternet etc.
fam and households had some good questions tbh

Honestly I don't think the paper was THAT bad, but for me it was the wording of the questions that confused me!
The 20 marker for family "personal relationships making family less important" with the postmodernist item. Confused me so much xD and family is my strongest area over beliefs...

Hi,
I also do families and media. I dont think my exam went to well as I found it quite hard but i did attempt all the questions.
what points did you mention in the first questions and policies and family structure and what did you mention in the postmodernism question - i found that quite hard.

i didn’t like the paper at all!! 😢😢it didn’t surprise me though because paper 1 was really good so of course they would make one of the papers hard.

Mhm..I'd love to say I remember, I waffled so much.
Just saying what postmodernists say, feminist, functionalist, marxists.
That the position of women is changing so they go into paid work more.
Then welfare and policies support the family e.g. nhs and care homes, so we don't havr much responsibility anymore.
That women are having children later in life.
And some other bits..
Honestly I dont know... I only did 14 pages
