#2022Challenge Day 9

Day 9 of the challenge is complete and just one more day to go to the weekend. After this week, we’ll nearly be down to double figures of questions to complete. At present, there are still 102 to go!

Throughout the day I have been posting some little hints on how to answer todays questions. Question 2 is probably more tricky as it requires students to apply not only their understanding of what postmodernity is, but also to identify features of contemporary society that fit into the characteristics of postmodernity. Fortunately, there is a lot of that in the news at the moment, distrust of experts, insecurity, media saturation etc…

Here is my answer and below, rounding off week 2 of 11 is Day 10’s question. One more straightforward that the other – choice of topic is very similar to values questions is my hint – next week onto the optional topics, so if you don’t do Culture and Identity, consider yourself rested. Good luck!

About the author

The Sociology Guy is a pseudonym originally used by Craig Gelling when he was working in an FE College to provide an outlet for his frustrations with how he was expected to teach and strict rules around intellectual property in his former employer. The Sociology Guy name came from his early years as a supply teacher, where students would often not know his name and ask for ‘the sociology guy’ when coming to the staff room. Initially set up in 2018 as an anonymous You Tube channel, Craig has since written, recorded and presented for many different organisations and education providers. His purpose is to try and make sociology both accessible and understandable for all students and support teachers to inspire the next generation of sociologists.
