    Sociology Revision Worksheet - Grade 8

    Name: __________________________________ Marks: 70

    Section A: Culture, identity and socialization


    1 Social identity is the result of many influences. Some sociologists argue that nature may
    affect human behavior and identity. Others believe that nurture is more important and that
    individuals 2 are socialized into roles and identities based on age, gender, class and ethnicity.

    2 Masculine and feminine roles vary from society to society. Margaret Mead’s 1935 work in the
    South Pacific found tribes where men and women did not conform to what, in the West, would
    be seen as ‘traditional’ masculine and feminine roles. Gender roles, it can therefore be
    concluded, should not be seen as natural but as a social construction.
