About Identity
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The Identity unit sits in the Foundations of Sociology strand of Sociology. Most resources are mind maps, and they follow the way identity is usually taught: first culture and socialisation, then the different parts of who we are. Several map the main theories, including functionalist, social action and postmodern views of culture and identity.
The listed resources also look at ethnicity, nationality, age, social class, gender, sexuality and disability. Some name specific studies. One mind map, Ethnic Identities and Socialization, covers a study of teenage Muslim girls in the East Midlands. Sexuality and Identity covers research on same-sex relationships in tribal societies.
Where to start
- Open the mind map Identity for a plain answer to what identity is and how social identity differs from personal identity.
- Move to Culture and Identity, which defines culture and sets out the main theories.
- Choose one strand, such as ethnicity, age or gender, and open the maps and flashcards on it.
- Finish with the wider maps, such as Multiculturalism and Subcultures and ethnicity.
Using quizzes, maps and flashcards together
Read a map first to see how the ideas link. Then use a flashcard deck to test the key terms and sociologists. The flashcards on culture and identity ask for definitions, such as the structuralist and social action views of culture, and how a subculture can become a counterculture.
The quizzes are a small set, so use them as a check. Identity and Culture and THE SIGNIFICANCE OF GENDER AS A SOURCE OF IDENTITY are good places to see what you remember. Go back to the map for any topic you miss.
For exam preparation
Some resources mention A-level Sociology and GCSE Sociology, and a few are written around exam sections, such as a flashcard deck on socialisation, culture and identity for paper 1. Teachers can pick a map or slide set for a class and set a quiz after it.
When you are ready, choose one mind map from the list and work through it, then turn it into your own notes.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map called Identity. It explains what identity is and how social identity differs from personal identity. After that, open Culture and Identity to see how culture is defined and which theories explain it. Then pick one strand, such as age, ethnicity or gender, and go deeper.
What do the mind maps cover?
There are over 200 mind maps. They cover culture and socialisation, theories such as functionalism and postmodernism, and ethnic, national, age, class and gender identities. Others look at youth subcultures, multiculturalism and sexuality, and some name sociologists and studies you can use as examples.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Which exams do these resources suit?
Some resources mention A-level Sociology and GCSE Sociology, and most of the material suits school students. A small share is at university level. Check each resource's title and content to see whether it matches your course, since the community made them.
Are there quizzes on this page?
Yes, a small set. Titles include Identity and Culture, Fat Indentity and POSTMODERN VIEWS ON GENDER. Because the quizzes are few, pair them with the flashcard decks, which are more numerous and work well for key terms, sociologists and definitions.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Try a nearby resource first. A map on ethnicity or age may touch on your topic, and the flashcards on key terms can fill gaps. If nothing fits, make your own mind map or flashcards on it and use the listed ones as a model.
