Yeh, I totally get that. I recommend scavenging through the news for statistics or anything that you can possible relate to globalisation studies because everything is linked these days. For example, there was an article abt how social media has pointed itself as a jury in big scandals which are popular in the media when the Russel Brand sexual allegations a while ago happened. As for theorists, I recommend looking at ‘Quizlet’ flash cards created by multiple people as they often have a variety of different theorists as everyone is taught differently, so it’s nice to pinch different ones. 🙂

hey, can anyone explain what it means when it says 'structural' factors under the explanations for differential educational achievement on the spec? it's grouped with material and cultural factors (which i have explicitly been taught about) but i don't recall my teachers ever specifically talking about what the spec means when it says this. thanks :smile:

last year it was on digital revolution which isn't too dissimilar but it does show that they can throw in other terms in the 16 marker besides digital communication
