Substances are exchanged by passive or active transport across exchange surfaces. The structure of the plasma membrane enables control of the passage of substances into and out of cells

To aspire, endeavour and thrive together Every week when we clap for a key worker, the act of clapping proves that society binds us together. As a Sociologist, my cogs are always thinking how does this link to Sociology. In some respects clapping can be seen as a ‘civil religion. ’ It promotes nationalism whilst being underpinned by shared beliefs, experiences and rituals.

Sociology – Alternative Task Sociologists believe that people behave as they do because they are taught how to behave. For example the sociologist Michael Haralambos states: ‘human beings learn their behaviour and use their intelligence whereas animals simply act on instinct’. This is known as a Nurture theory of human behaviour. Nurture means the way you were brought up. It is also a reference to socialisation, the lifelong process by which we learn our culture, values, norms and how to behave. Task - Watch this video on feral children https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=93 Hym. GXC_w. M to understand how Oxana Malya was brought up with dogs and behaves in a similar manner to dogs. Another case study is Genie a heart breaking case study that highlighted the importance of a normal development in shaping our lives. Sociologists reject nature theories for two particular reasons. If people behaved as they do because of nature, we would all act the same. We know that people do not all act the same: 1. History: people acted differently in the past from the way that they do today. They had different ideas and different beliefs. 2. Anthropology: this is the study of different human societies. Wherever you go in the world, people act differently from the way they do in Britain. Task - Think of two ways in which we are different from people in the past then think of four ways in which people in other countries are different from people in Britain Transition activities to help you maintain and develop effective study habits, ready for Sixth Form, Apprenticeships and other P 16 pathways. . To aspire, endeavour and thrive together Nature vs Nurture – The Big Debate There are many ways of explaining why certain people behave in certain ways. For example, biologists think that people behave as they do because they are controlled by nature which is based on instincts of survival of the fittest. This is known as Nature theory.

Sociology – Alternative Task Continued Task - Imagine a newborn human infant cast adrift on a desert island. For the sake of this illustration we will assume that it doesn’t become an instant snack for some passing predator! Now, bearing in mind that this baby has had no human contact; can you think of anything that would enable it to survive? Explain why you think the baby would either survive or not survive Humans are dependent upon other humans for the most basic needs such as food and shelter. We do not arrive in this world equipped with instincts inherited from our parents that will enable us to survive. An instinct can be defined as a complex unlearned pattern of behaviour that is universal in a species. On the maternal ‘instinct’ we do not ‘instinctively’ know how to act as a mother. Little girls learn about mothering via a range of ‘learning’ experiences (called socialisation) such as how their mother behaves towards them or younger brothers and sisters, toys such as dolls and other related influences.
