This comprehensive mind map explores three major sociological perspectives: Marxism, Functionalism, and Feminism. It serves as an excellent GCSE Sociology revision tool for Year 10 students, providing key concepts, theorists, and criticisms associated with each perspective.
Marxism, founded by Karl Marx, is a conflict theory that focuses on class struggle and exploitation in capitalist societies.
Vocabulary: Bourgeoisie - The middle/upper class who have an interest in preserving capitalism.
Vocabulary: Proletariat - A term coined by Karl Marx to describe the working class in the 19th century, who were exploited by the bourgeoisie.
Marxists believe that society is in conflict between classes, with the bourgeoisie suppressing the proletariat through various social institutions, often without their full knowledge.
Highlight: Use the word "exploitation" in exams when discussing Marxism!
Example: A03 - Marx overlooked other social divisions such as gender and ethnicity.
Functionalism, with Emile Durkheim as its founding father, is a consensus theory that views society as a system of interconnected parts working together to maintain social order.
Definition: Organic Analogy - The idea that society works like the human body, with each institution having a specific function.
Functionalists believe in harmony and agreement within society, focusing on how society is structured to maintain stability.
Vocabulary: The New Right - The political term for functionalism.
Functionalists argue that everyone has an equal chance and shares the same norms and values, often overlooking societal inequalities.
Example: A03 - Britain is not a meritocracy because of unequal class and wealth, sexism, ableism, homophobia, and racism.
Feminism is a perspective that focuses on gender inequality and aims to challenge the systematic inequalities women face in society.
Definition: Patriarchy - A system of society in which men hold the power and women are largely excluded from it.
Feminists argue that society is a patriarchy and that the family oppresses women. They highlight how gender roles are reinforced from an early age.
Example: Canalisation - The way parents channel their children's interests into toys, games, and activities they believe are "gender appropriate." For instance, girls are often given Barbies and baby dolls, while boys are given nerf guns and toy cars.
The feminist movement has its roots in the suffragist movement of the early 19th century, which later evolved into the more militant suffragette movement led by Emiline Pankhurst in 1903.
Quote: "Deeds not words" - This slogan encapsulates the suffragettes' approach, which included violent protests, propaganda, and hunger strikes when arrested.
Quote: "Quiet women seldom make history" - This quote emphasizes the importance of women speaking up and taking action to effect change.
Critics argue that feminism focuses too much on the negative experiences of women and that radical feminism tends to portray women as universally good and men as universally bad.
This mind map for GCSE Sociology provides a comprehensive overview of these three major sociological perspectives, serving as an excellent revision tool for Year 10 students. It helps in understanding the complex interplay of social theories and their impact on our understanding of society.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
