[10 marks]

0 2 Read Item A below and answer the question that follows.

Item A

One aspect of globalisation is increased migration of people between countries.

Globalisation also involves growth in trade and so there is a wider range of products for

people to consume.

Globalisation may affect people’s identities.

people’s identities.

[10 marks]

0 3 Read Item B below and answer the question that follows.

Item B

Subcultures are groups within a society whose lifestyle, attitudes and values are

different to some extent from those in wider society. Subcultures can be based on

gender, ethnicity, taste or other factors.

Youth subcultures, for example, are seen by functionalists as giving young people

ways to cope with the transition to adulthood. However, they are seen by other

sociologists as expressing resistance against the dominant culture.

Applying material from Item B and your knowledge, evaluate sociological explanations of

subcultures.

experience of childhood.

[10 marks]

0 5 Read Item C below and answer the question that follows.

Item C

People have more choice than in the past over who they can be in a personal

relationship with. They also have more choices when a relationship ends.

This increased choice in personal life has affected family structures in the UK today.

Applying material from Item C, analyse two effects that increased choice in personal life

has on family structures in the UK today.

[10 marks]

0 6 Read Item D below and answer the question that follows.

Item D

Marxist sociologists argue that families continue to perform a key role in maintaining

capitalism. Families support the economy and play an important part in transmitting

ideology that helps to legitimise the capitalist system.

However, some sociologists argue that Marxists place too much importance on the role

of families in supporting capitalism and that families are beneficial to individuals and

society as a whole.

Applying material from Item D and your knowledge, evaluate Marxist explanations of the

role of families in society today.
