So just like all year 12 students at the moment i have been study like mad however I've realised that i have been procrastinating with Society and Culture mainly because i truly have no clue how to prepare for this exam and i feel like the syllabus is really confusing.
I know that the best method for any subject is to practice past papers which i have done but i was wondering if i could get any advice on what content is important to learn or if anyone has any other methods of studying for this course that they could share, it would be greatly appreciated.
I was generally thinking of just memorising statistical data on each of my case studies and obviously memorising all the research methodologies and course concepts but i feel like that isnt enough...
Thank you in advance :) :) :)

Hey there! I totally feel you. I found these grids really helpful for filling in my knowledge! A lot of the info I grabbed from my class notes and the textbook, and I email my teacher about other things! It feels really good filling in this too - satisfying!
I'm not sure which options you've done, but I've attached the templates I've used - you should be able to grab them from the Society and Culture Association page. Otherwise, if you attended the SCA study days in Sydney the books that were handed out also had these inside.
Hope this helped somewhat!

I am so very sorry for not uploading this sooner. I hope this answers your question :)
Social change is a significant alteration to various aspects of societies or cultures over time. Long term differences to human behaviour, cultural values and attitudes. It is often seen in the institutions of family, education, religion and industry. Changes in social structures, and relationships affect social processes, social patterns and social interactions. Changes may be part of development or initiated by a community. For example Social continuity cannot simply be defined as the absence of social change; Nothing 'remains the same'. Institutions such as family, law and religion are subject to change even though they represent social continuity.
Family is still the foundational institution for society and the primary agent of socialisation however the composition of 'family' has changed in recent years, leading to different socialisation experiences for members.
In terms of the nature of continuity and change, It is expected that you are able to discuss
- ‘evolutionary’ change
- ‘transformative’ change
- resistance to change
- the influence that continuity and change have on the development of society at the micro, meso and macro levels
- the impact of modernisation and westernisation on social and cultural continuity and change
You would kind of link in what ever case study you learnt with these sub points and then use them as a mean of showing how the process of change is difficult and has both positive and negative impacts

THANK YOU SO MUCH haha i finally get it! Literally saved my life <3
The textbook didn't really have much on change, rather it went straight onto the focus study (China). It only explained that "Change is complex because it has many facets and contributing forces" and then went on to briefly mention evolutionary change and transformative change, but didn't really say why they were complex or what they involved etc. Thank you again!
