5 mark question an example… Peer groups consist of people who are usually of a similar age or status to ourselves. They might be friends, work mates or other members of groups who often give us approval and guidance on how to behave. Our various roles are often shaped by people whose opinions we value and they influence the way we behave. Peer groups often persuade us to behave in particular ways. In this way peer groups are often referred to as agents of socialisation because they play a part in shaping us. 5 mark question an example…

10 marks question an example … (b) Using material from the item and your own knowledge describe and explain the way in which any two agents of socialisation transmit norms and values. [10]

10 marks answer structure You will need to follow this structure for each of the ways you describe: 1 mark = identification of your chosen primary or secondary agent of socialisation, 2 marks = explanations of how they transmit norms and values, 2 marks = clear and detailed example based on the item or prior knowledge of how this occurs. WARNING: You will need to have one of your examples to be based on the item.

First paragraph of a perfect answer One key agents of socialisation responsible for transmitting norms and values is the family. The family which is a primary agent of socialisation transmit norms and values to their children between the ages of 0-5 such as saying please and thank you. One the way in which the family transmits norms and values is through the use of sanctions and rewards. Sanctions such as sitting on the naughty step are used when inappropriate behaviour is displayed, and rewards such as treat or pocket money are given when appropriate behaviour is displayed.

Use this to structure the second paragraph This must be in context Based on the item So in this case......... Peer groups
