[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.

Topic A3 Health
0 7 Outline and explain two reasons why some ethnic groups may be more likely than
others to be diagnosed as mentally ill.
[10 marks]
0 8 Read Item E below and answer the question that follows.
Item E
The social model of health suggests that society defines what is normal, which affects
the way a person’s health is viewed. The biomedical model of health focuses on
whether an individual is physically able to carry out day to day activities.
Models of health and illness are used to explain disability.
Applying material from Item E, analyse two ways in which models of health and illness
explain disability.
[10 marks]
0 9 Read Item F below and answer the question that follows.
Item F
Functionalists argue that health professionals perform an important role in helping
society remain stable. They also suggest that health professionals, such as doctors,
possess the expert knowledge to diagnose and provide treatment in the interests of
patients.
Other sociologists argue that functionalists fail to consider that health professionals
may operate in the interests of powerful groups.
Applying material from Item F and your knowledge, evaluate the functionalist view of the
role of health professionals.
