Exam QuestionsPage 241. Create an essay plan for the following Q - use the essay advice to help you.

Question 2: Applying material from item A and your knowledge, evaluate the claim that we are now living in the postmodern age. [20 marks]

Item A: According to some sociologists, recent changes such as those associated with globalisation have resulted in a major change in the nature of today's society. For example, postmodernists argue that we no longer live in modern society but are now living in a media-saturated postmodern soceity in which it is impossible to distinguish image from reality or to change society for the better. As a result, postmodernists argue, we need new theories to explain this new kind of society. However, some critics argue that although there have been major changes in society, these are a continuation of modernity rather than a completely new type of society.

Evaluate the contributions of Modernist and Postmodernist sociologists to the study of society.

P - Modernists like Marx and Durkheim believe that Society has fundamentally changed from premodern to modern, including economic and social changes.P - Modernists see problems with this: Durkheim - Anomie; Weber - Iron cage; Marx - alienation and exploitation.P - Other sociologists believe we have even moved beyond this (but there is debate): Lyotard - metanarratives don't workP - Others still disagree: we are in late modernity or a second ageP - Some (Urry) argue we have moved beyond the traditional view of society.

Evaluate the contributions of Modernist and Postmodernist sociologists to the study of society.

Points for analysis:· Modernist ideas may be unhelpful because the world has changed since the early 20th century (towards postmodern society)· There is disagreement within sociology as to whether we really are in postmodern society.· Is there such a thing as 'society' any more?· Modern and postmodern ideas have ramifications for methodology.
