0 7 Read Item A below and answer the question that follows.


Item A

For some Marxists, culture in society reflects ruling class ideology. It expresses the
distorted view of the world put forward by the dominant class. Therefore, the key role
of culture is to maintain the system of social inequality that exists in capitalist society.

Alternatively, functionalist sociologists argue that the culture of society reflects the
shared values of that society. Society needs a shared culture to run effectively, and
various agencies play their part in socialising members of society.

Applying material from Item A and your knowledge, evaluate the Marxist approach to the
role of culture in society.

1 2 Read Item B below and answer the question that follows.


Item B

‘March of progress’ sociologists suggest that the modern family has become more
child-centred than in the past. Each individual child is seen as important. Parents
spend a great deal of time and money making sure that their children enjoy a
comfortable upbringing.

Critics of this view would point to examples of child poverty and other negative
experiences that children today may face.

Applying material from Item B and your knowledge, evaluate the view that the modern
family has become more child-centred.
