Item B
Social class refers to a group of people who share a socio-economic status.
Some sociologists argue that social class is the most important factor in
shaping identity. Social class affects life chances, leisure activities and
consumption patterns, as well as values and beliefs.
Other sociologists disagree and suggest that other factors such as gender
and ethnicity are more important than social class in shaping identity.
Applying material from Item B and your knowledge, evaluate the view that
social class is the most important factor in shaping identity.
