This Production, Consumption and Globalisation bundle within the Culture and Identity A Level Sociology unit (7192/2) offers students a critical and contemporary exploration of how culture is created, consumed, and transformed in an increasingly interconnected world. The PDF summary examines the relationship between the production of culture (by institutions such as media, fashion, and tech industries), the consumption of culture (through lifestyle, identity, and choice), and the impact of globalisation on cultural diversity and hybridity. Key sociological perspectives—including Marxist, Postmodernist, and Feminist theories—are used to explore ideas around cultural imperialism, glocalisation, cultural homogenisation, and the commodification of identity.

The PowerPoint presentation presents these concepts with engaging visuals, up-to-date global examples, and clear links to theorists such as Baudrillard, Strinati, Giddens, and McLuhan, helping students understand how consumption patterns and global flows influence identity formation and cultural change. To strengthen analytical and exam-writing skills, the bundle includes connectives worksheets and skills-based activities like cultural mapping tasks, consumption-analysis exercises, and theory-application grids.

A focused podcast episode brings the topic to life through discussion of how global brands, digital media, and migration are reshaping how culture is experienced, shared, and challenged. The question bank includes a variety of short-answer and essay-style questions with model responses, such as “Evaluate the view that globalisation has led to cultural homogenisation” and “Assess the role of consumption in shaping identity in modern society.” An interactive quiz reinforces key concepts, theories, and global examples in a fun, accessible format.

Altogether, this bundle gives students the theoretical depth and applied understanding needed to evaluate how cultural production and consumption are shaped by global processes, making it an essential component of the Culture and Identity unit.
