This Changes in British Society bundle within the Stratification and Differentiation unit of A Level Sociology (7192/2) provides students with a detailed and evaluative look at how patterns of inequality, identity, and social structure have shifted over time in the UK. The PDF summary explores key social changes related to class structure, gender roles, ethnic diversity, family forms, employment, and education, focusing on how these transformations affect opportunities, life chances, and patterns of stratification.

The resource examines sociological debates around whether Britain is becoming more meritocratic, individualised, or still defined by deep-rooted class and status divisions. It incorporates a range of theoretical perspectives, including Functionalist, Marxist, Feminist, and Postmodernist views on social change, mobility, and inequality. Topics such as the decline of traditional working-class communities, the rise of the service sector, increased ethnic and cultural diversity, and changes in gender norms are explored in depth.

The PowerPoint presentation presents these changes through clear visuals, timelines, case studies, and data interpretation tasks, helping students understand how macro-level shifts impact individual experience and social differentiation. To develop strong exam skills, the bundle includes connectives worksheets and skills-building activities, such as trend analysis, theory-application exercises, and structured essay planning.

A dedicated podcast episode can be accessed at: , it provides a narrative overview of how British society has changed over recent decades and what this means for sociological debates around inequality and identity. The question bank offers a range of short-answer and 20-mark essay questions with model responses, including prompts such as “Evaluate the view that British society is becoming more individualised” and “Assess the impact of social change on class divisions in the UK.” An interactive quiz helps students consolidate key terms, examples, and theories in an engaging, student-friendly format.

Altogether, this bundle equips learners with the theoretical tools and contemporary understanding needed to analyse how British society is evolving—and whether these changes are reducing or reinforcing inequality.

A Level Sociology: Stratification and Differentiation Bundle

The Stratification and Differentiation unit in A Level Sociology (AQA 7192/2) offers students an in-depth investigation into how society is divided and how inequality is structured, maintained, and challenged. This topic explores the systems and processes through which individuals and groups are socially stratified by class, gender, ethnicity, and age, and examines how these divisions affect people’s life chances, status, and power. Students are introduced to a range of sociological perspectives on inequality, including Functionalist, Marxist, Weberian, Feminist, and Postmodernist approaches. These are applied to key themes such as social mobility, class structure, life chances, poverty, and cultural and economic capital. The unit also investigates ideologies of inequality, looking at how beliefs like meritocracy and individualism justify or obscure systemic disadvantage. A focus is on how patterns of stratification have changed over time in British society, examining whether society is becoming more open and mobile, or whether old inequalities persist in new forms. Students will assess the extent of social mobility, the significance of work and education in shaping outcomes, and the influence of values, identity, and ideology in maintaining or challenging inequality. The unit is both theoretical and applied, encouraging students to critically evaluate empirical evidence, historical trends, and sociological theory. It supports strong development of AO1 (knowledge), AO2 (application to contemporary society), and AO3 (critical analysis and evaluation), making it essential preparation for success in Paper 2 and for building synoptic links across the specification. By the end of this unit, students will be able to confidently assess the nature and extent of inequality in modern society, the mechanisms by which it is reproduced, and the ideologies that seek to justify or resist it
