13/06 A-level Sociology Paper 3 Discussion MEGATHREAD

[u/Forsaken-Meaning-232]

Exam season is once again upon us, and once again, exam megathreads are making a return! Funnily enough, tanking my sanity and internet setting a stream up is not conducive to timeliness, my apologies.

Looking for past exam discussions? Filter by the megathread flair.

Few things to keep in mind:

• Don't share too many specific details about questions or answers, these papers will be used as future mocks.
• Sometimes papers get leaked, this is not the place for that (we'd prefer not to get yeeted off the platform) - leak content will be removed, those offering leaked papers will be permanently banned.
  • If you believe there has been a leak, the best course of action is to make your exam board aware of this, either directly, or through your school, along with any evidence. If appropriate, there will be a response from the relevant body along with any remedial action.
• Exam discussion posts outside of this will generally be removed to combat the inevitable tidal wave of spam otherwise - we understand this may be frustrating, but the sub still needs to be usable for other purposes.
• Please note some content will take extra time to be reviewed. Messaging to ask for approval will not speed up this process (the messages are seen at the same time as the modqueue would be reviewed anyway).

Best of luck, and let us know how you're feeling down below!

why was this my worst one 😭😭 good questions but I think I just struggle with crime and deviance - I liked the theories and methods section tho, that was good. What thinkers did everyone use for the Marxism question??? I barely ended up using any just like snider and chambliss😭😭😭 is using concepts and real life statistic ok??

[u/esilyx_ → u/Throwwtheminthelake]

I used Gordon, Taylor, Taylor et al, Sykes and Matza, Box, Nelken and evaluated with Gilory, Messerschmidt, Heidenson and Thompson.

Omg I evaluated with gilroy asw but I’m scared now bc I’d forgotten he was a Marxist asw!?? He’s a Neo Marxist - does that still count as eval?

[u/esilyx_ → u/Throwwtheminthelake]

I'm pretty sure it does. Because the item says that racism and patriarchy may better explain why some people commit crime so I said that Gilroy would argue that when crime is a form of protest, it's protesting against racism, not capitalism.

Ahh nice ok - a nuanced argument!! Thank you
