Example questions - Identity

Remember that the topic of 'Identity' is new this year. Sadly, this means we do not have any example answers from previous years. However, the exam board has released the following four example questions that you can use as practise questions. One of these has been done in class, one is set as your homework for next Thursday and there are two further questions for you to practise with:




Mainstream media is a powerful influence on the construction of an individual’s identity. Use your case study to explore the impact of the media in the construction of identities.

‘We are defined by the media we use.’ How does your case study suggest audiences use the media to construct their own identity?

‘Social media has only served to reinforce existing values and ideologies’. Does your case study suggest social media has played a positive or negative role in the construction of identities?

‘The variety of media available encourages us to create many different identities for ourselves’. How far do you agree with this statement?
