Welcome to all who are interested in taking Sociology. Just to let you know some A-level subjects (mine included) have, as yet, not been given details about which students are taking their classes. Please bear with us; it appears to be a technical issue. I'll be able to give you a formal welcome when the issue is resolved. I'm not ignoring you :)

Task 9
1. Most people that are drawn to cults are at a crossroad in their life, where they have a lot of questions this could be because they want a greater sense of purpose in life and want to know how to fulfil this purpose. It could be that they have recently undergone a personal or professional loss and want answers. Cults make you believe that they have the answers that you seek and this is why people are drawn to them
2. I think that people don’t realise that they’ve joining a cult until they’re in it, as cults like to appear as a normal group of people and you only hear about the more radical ideas when you’ve joined. Cult members will usually go for a coffee or to the movies with you and then invite you to one of their group sessions this is the first stage of initiation to the cult. After the first couple of sessions, you start to believe in their ideology and when you start to question them cults will use multiple manipulation tactics to stop you from questioning them. By the time you realise that it’s a cult it's too late
3. I think that the problem with having one main person as the cult leader is that they have a lot of control and influence over the people that follow them this could lead to them being exploited for money and other things.
4. Cults do use mind control and indoctrination and this is what gives them complete and absolute control and loyalty of their followers. Cults are very careful and precise when initiating and indoctrinating a new person they usually go for someone who is emotionally hurt and mentally venerable. Followers of a cult are kept closed off from the rest of the world and deliberately seclude themselves from other people only congregating with fellow cultists. This way they are only exposed to things that the cult wants them to see slowly changing the way they think and using techniques such as peer pressure to submit their followers, so that over time the ideas of the cult are deemed to be normal and not radical like the rest of the world would see it.
5. It is difficult to leave a cult as followers have been mentally taught that defying the cult is wrong, and that you should put your trust in them also through the use of brainwashing and indoctrination the followers are made to be dependent on their leader. Some members had grown up in these cults so that type of life is all they know making it even harder to leave and integrate into society.
6. I think that cults are very dangerous because of the amount of power and influence the leader has over their followers. It is very damaging to relationships as cults want you to sever ties with family and friends. Furthermore, it is damaging to the mental health of the followers as they are brainwashed and indoctrinated into thinking that everyone in the outside world is a threat. I think that the power and authority that cults have over their followers is plausible to be abused.

Task 7
People started to stock pile on toilet paper during the pandemic because they were scared and started to panic buy and hoard non-perishable items like toilet role dry pasta and tinned foods. I also think that once people saw other people buying lots of toilet role, they then started to do it themselves showing herd mentality.
I think that some news networks acted responsibly by reporting facts, statistics and figures but other networks didn’t act responsibly and were giving out false information and fear mongering causing people to panic. Furthermore, I think that all news networks caused a little bit of panic and fear but this was good as it made people listen to government restrictions and regulations and be more cautious.
I do think that people have shown kindness and sacrifice during the pandemic doing things like clapping for the NHS, football clubs donating to charities, hotels giving NHS workers free rooms, restaurants giving NHS workers discounts and people staying away from elderly and relatives too keep them safe. I myself have experienced kindness when my friends called me just to check upon me and see how I was doing.
I believe that society needs to learn kindness and acceptance, because during the pandemic as people had to rely on the good will of others to be able to help them whether that be buying shopping because their self-isolating or just having a conversation with someone who's lonely. During the pandemic a lot of social injustices have been highlighted but none more than race. This has been an ongoing issue and struggle for centuries, and although we’ve made great strides for racial equality since then we are still a long way away from the abolition of racism. This was evident when 3 young black British footballers where racially abused online.

Task 4
My parents childhoods was very different to mine as they said back in there childhood they had less pressure from social media, they was also outside way more this was due to lack of technology.
They went threw less stress and they also had way more discipline as there parents was more strict.
In the future I think parents would be less strict on kids and they would have more freedom because as time goes on children are open to more things such as new technology.
There will also be way more pressure on the youth in the future because of social media and there will be lots of expectations for how young kids should act and look.
In the pictures showed on the slides there is a trend and we can see that that all the boys look a certain way and look similar, this shows that there was not many trends. There was also no girls shown in the pictures this shows that girls might not off been seen as that important and boys was seen higher up then them.

Task 8
Picture 1- It shows two different types of people having lots of conflict and not getting along very well with each other. This demonstrates that society might of been divided because off what people do for a living, in this case people who work in a army and just ordinary people.
Picture 2 - The picture presents to us a group of fire fighters sitting down after a long day of hard work and all of them resting. This alone lets us know that in Society some people work way harder then others to keep people say and out of harm.
Picture 3- This picture shows what people wanted and expected life to be like for example only positive things happening and no struggles in life.
Society now is nothing like that and life is not all full of roses.
Picture 4-In the picture we can see different religions and how now a days people believe in many different things and religions
