Using the UK as an example of a wealthy country, increases in wealth over the last 25 years and government interventions have not been able to reverse severe inequalities in income, prosperity and life chances. Those on the margins live in a society characterised by accelerating rates of change and new forms of poverty and deprivation.
This unit will give invaluable insight into issues relating to some of these vulnerable groups in society and how and why their needs exist. You will examine topics such as social exclusion and inclusion, definitions of poverty, and the links between social inequalities and the health of the population. You will also develop an awareness of the impact of demographic changes in our society and its possible consequences.
The unit aims to build on and extend knowledge and understanding you will have developed through the study of previous units, such as Unit 2: Equality, Diversity and Rights in Health and Social Care, and Unit 7: Sociological Perspectives for Health and Social Care.
Task 1:
P1: Explain the concept of an unequal society.
Write a report (1,000 words) which explains the concept of the ‘unequal society’. You must explain what we mean when we say our society is unequal and include a definition of all of the key concepts below.
Criteria to be assessed: P1. Key concepts: stereotyping, prejudices, labelling, attitudes, discrimination, marginalisation, social inclusion, social exclusion.
Task 2
P2: Describe social inequalities that exist in society.
Create a poster that describes three social inequalities that exist in our society.
M1: Discuss the impact of social inequalities on groups in society (report 750 words).
D1: Evaluate the impact of social inequalities in society (report 1000 words).
You must discuss and evaluate the impact of at least three social inequalities in your writing.
Criteria to be assessed: P2, M1, D1.
