About Childhood, Youth and Ageing
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The unit sits in the Families and the Life Course strand of Sociology. Most of the material looks at childhood and youth, with a smaller set on ageing. Childhood resources ask whether childhood is a social construct, how it has changed over time and whether it is now in crisis. Youth resources cover youth culture and subcultures. Ageing appears in maps such as Migration and Ageing and Ageism & Ageing.
Where to start
Begin with the slide set Has the Position of Children Improved?. It sets out the March of Progress view, which says the position of children has improved and keeps improving. Then compare it with the maps on the conflict view and the March of Progress view of the position of childhood. Next, read the maps on historical differences in childhood and the criticisms of Aries.
Youth culture and subcultures
Move on to the mind map Youth culture. It sets out functionalist, Marxist, feminist and post-modern ideas. The functionalist maps argue that youth culture binds young people into society and gives them a sense of belonging. The Marxist map treats subcultures as resistance to the crisis of capitalism. Feminist Views of Youth Subculture looks at how girls were overlooked, with McRobbie and Garber.
Using quizzes and maps together
- Read a map on one theory or theme.
- Take the Childhood quiz or another quiz on the same topic.
- Note what you missed, then return to the map.
- Use the flashcard decks on sociologists, key words and youth theories to fix the names and terms.
Some resources mention A-level Sociology and GCSE Sociology, so school students can check them against their own course. Others come from university study, with lecture quizzes and book-based decks.
Make it your own
Choose one theme, such as The future of childhood, and work through its map, notes and flashcards. Then build a short set of your own to see what you remember.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the slide set Has the Position of Children Improved?, which introduces the March of Progress view. After that, try the Childhood quiz to see what you recall. If you want a quick overview of youth, the Youth culture mind map covers the main theories in one place.
What do the mind maps cover?
The mind maps cover childhood as a social construct, historical differences, the future of childhood and childhood in crisis. They also cover youth culture through functionalist, Marxist and feminist views, plus a few on ageing, ageism and migration.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Which levels and exams do these suit?
Most resources suit school students, and some mention A-level Sociology and GCSE Sociology. A good share suits university students, including lecture quizzes and book-based flashcard decks. Teachers can use the ready-made maps, quizzes and slide sets in lessons.
Who made these resources?
They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. Over 190 contributors have added quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes, so styles and depth vary. Check a resource against your own course materials.
What if the topic I need is missing?
Try nearby titles first, since childhood and youth topics overlap. For example, a map on Aries criticisms may help with questions on historical childhood. If the gap remains, you can build your own map or flashcards on that topic.
