GCSE Sociology Revision - Gender, Sexuality, Ethnicity, Disability and Differentiation (Episode 16)

Strap yourselves in folks – this one’s a long one! This episode on Social Stratification looks at gender, sexuality, ethnicity, age and disabilities as ways of differentiating people in society. Throughout, I consider the key sources and forms of inequalities these social groups experience and the ways in which life-chances in education, employment, the law, media and health are affected by them.

In this video, I cover the following things:
- Overlaps in inequalities between social groups – Discrimination, Prejudice, Life Chances, Media Representation, Stereotypes, Status, Moral Panics, Laws/Policies – 02:21 – 11:15
- Gender and Differentiation – Patriarchy, Discrimination, Glass Ceiling, Male Gaze, Crisis of Masculinity – 11:16 – 17:41
- Sexuality and Differentiation – The role of the law and the impact of media representation using the 1980s AIDS crisis as a case study – 17:42 – 24:03
- Ethnicity and Differentiation – Definitions, Multiculturalism, Racism, Institutional Racism, Laws/Policies, Employment, Health – 24:04 – 33:12
- Disability – The Medical Model vs. Social Model of Disability – 33:13 – 36:32
- Disability and Age and Differentiation – Prejudice, Discrimination, Income and Employment, Status, Marginalisation, Social Exclusion, Media Representation, Stereotyping – 36:33 – 42:14
- 10 key terms to know – Prejudice, Discrimination, Patriarchy, Scapegoating, Representation, Moral Panic, Institutional Racism, Marginalisation, Medical vs. Social Models, Ageism – 42:15 – 46:33
- A word on exams, with 4 mark question and answer – 46:34 – 49:58
- Recap and Outro – 49:59 – 53:22

The video is aimed at GCSE Sociology Eduqas students but will also be useful as a recap to those studying different exam boards, e.g. AQA Sociology and/or those studying at a higher level, particularly if you’re newer to the subject.

Stratification and Differentiation is a huge topic, with my next video being the final one in the series, so keep an eye out for that coming soon…

Thank you this is great, is there a reason it is called disability discrimination instead of ableism

actually, it was only illegal to be gay before 1967, it never was illegal to be lesbian due to a legal wording oversight
