Society and Culture Question Thread
sania2014:
Hi! My year 11 exams are coming up and I can't seem to find any preliminary past paper exams to study for 'the social and cultural world'. Does anyone have any links to practice papers and solutions?
Thanks! :)

so basically with the cross cultural i chose generations (1980s to now) i have over 20 responses for my survey and am worried about the fact that the max age bracket is 25+. since i have chosen a cross cultural of 1980s, can i refer to those of 25+ years as generation Y or have i made an irreversible mistake. i am so scared bc i am so far into my pip that i can't possibly choose another cross cultural. Please help.
thankyou xx

Hey, jelena_nina2001!
If you haven't received as many responses from people 25+, I would recommend changing that option to a more flexible one and just continue distributing the survey. You'll lose a few responses but at least the next answers you get will be more accurate. I don't think there's anything to worry about there. You could highlight that as something you realised was a flaw in your survey later on in the PIP which demonstrates that you have critically reflected on it and taken action on to ensure social and cultural literacy, as well as ethical research :)

So firstly, there's no need to worry. Your PIP has definitely not gone down the drain and there is room and time to rectify this. Let's figure out an action plan :) Since you've received so many responses already from people in that demographic, I would suggest to just keep it. However, perhaps choose a different cross-cultural comparison so the age concern isn't so much at the forefront and is only something you can note as a slight flaw in your research in the annotated bibliography. What's your topic exactly so we can see if that's a possible option?

Hey there,
Your PIP hasn't gone down the drain! Even if you stuff up your questionnaire, you can still talk about it in your annotated bibliography. When I sent out my questionnaire, a teacher told me that my questionnaire was very biased and I started freaking out whether my results were still valid (and by this time, I had 90 responses). I spoke to my teacher and she said these results are still valid even though my questions were biased. So no need to worry about your PIP going down the drain because those results can still help you with your PIP.
Hope this helps!
