Socialisation, enculturation and the theories that explain why societies change and why they resist change.
These are the statements the Society and Culture syllabus makes about Social and Cultural Continuity and Change. Dux records each one against the questions you answer, so you can see which of them you have actually been tested on and which have never been asked.
The forces that produce change and the mechanisms that reproduce continuity.
How individuals acquire culture, and the agents that do the work.
Comparing societies without collapsing their differences into a hierarchy.
Functionalist, conflict and evolutionary accounts, and what each explains better.
Family, school, peers, media and religion, and how their influence differs by context.
Why practices persist, and how resistance to change itself produces change.
Homogenisation, hybridisation and local response.
HSC Society and Culture - Examination Shape is 60 marks in 120 minutes. Questions on Social and Cultural Continuity and Change are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones Society and Culture uses.
Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.
Social and Cultural Continuity and Change is module 2 of 4 in Society and Culture. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
Dux diagnoses Society and Culture dot point by dot point, then writes questions in the shape this course marks. Written answers come back marked against the bands.
